autoSave #208

Open nbriz opened 1 year ago

nbriz commented 1 year ago

students have asked if sketches could perhaps save automatically (this is something a lot of apps do these days) b/c they have occasionally lost work (for ex: on Mac scrolling hard to the left also triggers the browser "back" button, which exists the page, causing students to loose what they were working on).

on the one hand we want to encourage "best practices" && most code editors don't auto-save (so we want students to get used to having to save themselves)... that said, it would make for a better "user experience"...

maybe this can be handled via the File System API: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/File_System_API && maybe this should be used to rethink the current Files + Folders widget project
