I recovered stuff from memory dozens of times, I imagine it's common for technical people...
Anyhow for browsers I long learned to first write in a reliable editor any text longer than a couple lines, you can lose them for a million reasons if you write directly in the browser (to the point that I don't know how people not doing it maintain their sanity...)
And by the way the reason sometimes is that the text gets deleted (e.g. StackOverflow comments....), so I often also leave around in a file for at least some time the stuff that took more time to write
(in the meanwhile genius me tried writing the first version of this message directly in a app, which crashed as I was finishing it :facepalm: )
- trillic 3y agoI now do all my text composition longer than a couple lines either in an email draft or a VScode window that I always have open to a generic “notes” folder. VSCODE is configured to auto save every time I switch focus or have a short delay in typing.
