Feature Request: Store Playground Content In Cookie Or Local Storage

[fweth]

Hi, it would be great if the content of the playground is stored somewhere so I can go back to what I previously built, without manually saving it. Alternatively, it could be saved on the server similarly to JSFiddle, with a custom link, so that snippets can be more easily shared on the web. But the first variant should be much easier to implement.

This is an issue for solid-playground; check out that repo for other related proposals.

In particular, instead of localstorage, I think this proposal would satisfy you (persisting content over reloads via the page URL). Feel free to leave a comment there!

Note also that, right now, if you click the "share" button, you'll get a custom link in your clipboard, which is used a lot for sharing! So that should satisfy your second request.

Thanks for the answer and sorry for posting to the wrong repository! Yes, custom link is great, I didn't discover that. I still think it would be cool to be able to close the tab for whatever reason (browser crashing, etc.) and not losing your work, dartpad.dev does a great job I think. Feel free to close the issue!

Ah, fair point: localstorage is nice for remembering longer term like that. I notice that most other playgrounds do that, and it's kind of neat to see what I was working on last time. Maybe you want to open that specific suggestion on the playground repo? Meanwhile I'll close this one.
