And then you're like, "So why DOESN'T desktop software automatically save every time something changes?"https://twitter.com/josh_caratelli/status/1238726104711495680 …

Because writing it out to the floppy will take like 15 seconds and the computer can't do anything else in the meantime.

When I started working, my mentor would edit the database frontend live. Every save was a commit to production. I didn't do it 'cause I didn't have the trigger discipline on Ctrl+S

Yeah, I'm at the point where most software I use recovers files if closed suddenly etc. But it's still not seamless. It doesn't just, always save, and have a decent undo, and restart in the same place. This is one way apps UI is much better than applications

If people need a manual save, it can save the current edit state, so if you close it it opens in the same point with the "unsaved" data and let's you revert to the "saved" version if you want.

In the 80s, Borland had a word processor "Sprint" that kept a near-real-time keystrokes log. In the event of a crash, it would recover the editor state very closely to the last action or even fully. Saving to a file was separate, though. I liked it, but it didn't catch on.
