Rad, thank you!! I will listen tomorrow and let you know what I think. PS your comment about requiring keystroke logging for auto draft saving with JS got me looking into it - and I found this: https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2011/12/sisyphus-js-client-side-drafts-and-more/
Weird, I responded and it never showed!
Hope you enjoy the songs!
Yeah for saving form data, there's tools that can do the work for you. It can be a bit hefty adding too many Javascript libraries to handle things that may or may not be a problem. It's pretty situational. Some sites benefit a lot from doing this (I have worked on internal facing websites that do this for complex workflows, advanced searches for reports, and things like that), but most sites don't bother with it. Too much work/overhead for too little benefit. Most people expect their lose their form data is they close a tab or navigate away and click to confirm.
