I am so sad bro. Just discovered I lost a large chunk of my effortpost😭😭😭
I really should have worked on google docs, but I liked the markdown and low friction footnote adding :(
https://www.lesswrong.com/w/guide-to-the-lesswrong-editor When it says "recovering lost work (to do)" ... are we implying there is a way that just hasn't been written about yet, or that this feature hasn't yet been implemented? (Already looked in version history, found 2 empty versions and my current version)
The markdown editor is really just a standard text-entry field. But if you used the WYSIWYG editor then we almost certainly have backups (we take some form of backup every 5 minutes or so).
