Mastodon needs a auto save function. I mean, maybe it doesn't. I was typing on an old phone and the app just disappeared. So it was probably the old phones fault. But yeah. I mean, maybe not though. Maybe more software should be more like...
I mean, even if the autosave function was a local save that'd be good. Cloud save would be good too but local would be nice as well, so if you're typing a 700 character post and you're just finishing up adding some hashtags and then boom for some reason the app quits, you could reopen the app and go to drafts and find your post there, only missing the last one or two words you typed. How much battery would that take
I assume more battery for the amount of characters saved. So like, if it saves after each word, or every 7 characters, that'd take the most energy. Ok so then how about autosave after each 15 or 20 characters.

Update
I suppose this would come in handy more on older devices where app quits might occur more often than on new devices. But still would be handy wherever right
