This is very cool. BTW, when developing single HTML file apps, instead of localStorage, one can use the HTML as the source of truth, so the user can just save/save-as to persist. I had mentioned my quick and dirty attempt at an image gallery that is a self-contained html file and some really liked the concept, if not the "app" itself: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41877482

Wait, so every time I make a change I need to remember to save or it's all lost? Or am I missing something?

Yes, is that a no-go? Maybe I’m just being too old-school :)

It does make forks a lot easier, though!

Another advantage is that it makes it clear what you’re saving, reducing the likelihood of errors being persisted.

There is a pretty newish filesystem API around. You could probably make auto saving possible via that - at least after a prompt for the filesystem permission.

Or keeping it as it. That's fine too. It just came to mind
