File management #3

Open dabreegster opened 3 months ago

dabreegster commented 3 months ago

Auto-save changes in the sketch tool to local storage. I haven't moved this functionality into the common ss-lib yet from ATIP SS because the existing functionality is pretty bad UX. I've since come up with a slightly improved version in inspectorate tools, so I'll start adapting that instead. UX ideas also welcome. The goal is simply to let the user manage "files" (in local storage) in a way that's simple.

As another idea, the "choose area" landing page could list existing files and make it easy to start editing one of them.

Which pre-existing files, ones that others have created? I like the idea but could add complexity and other issues I imagine.

There's no sharing. Pre-existing files the same person on that same browser has created before. Like a "recently opened files" feature

OK yes, big 👍 to that.

OK, I've started auto-saving, managing multiple files (per boundary), and listing all prior files on the front page. Lots of polish still:
