I don't understand the title. It says autosave is not recovery, and then the article talks about a form that evidently didn't have an autosave feature, and how the author wrote a library to add autosaving to forms.
Ironically, unless the author has committed to maintain it forever, that library will inevitably become a "legacy library that is no longer actively maintained" that's part of the problem they're trying to solve. Presumably a short blog post about how to serialize some form data to a JSON object and save it to localStorage when a field's onBlur event fires, and how to load that data and populate the form when the page loads, wouldn't have been complicated enough.
