    Since this is pretty similar to the "Save draft" issue already on Gitlab, rather than making a totally new issue for this, I just mentioned this topic in the comments of that one instead.

    p.s. I do really like your idea though, hungarian. I think having a proper save draft feature is potentially a good way to encourage people to take their time replying, and also really help with topic creation as well. E.g. I am currently working on a rather long/comprehensive review of GOG Galaxy 2.0 that I would love to be able to work on directly on Tildes instead of in my IDE.

    In the meantime, I've taken to posting incomplete topics and finishing them by editing.

      As a privacy thing, I'd rather if my individual keystrokes are not sent to the site. It's a bit of a dark pattern imho, where it's never clear what is and is not being sent to the site. In my opinion, the site shouldn't receive your submission until the user has explicitly clicked the submit button.

      Say I accidentally paste my password into a text box on the site. I definitely don't want that transmitted to or stored by the site. If drafts are saved automatically, there's a chance my password is now in a database somewhere I don't necessarily have control over.
