gollark: I feel like much of the time it's horribly misused and applications have way too much for no apparent reason, but sometimes it's nice!
gollark: Mine probably should, but does not yet, include a "locally saved draft" feature when editing pages.
gollark: It's magically persisted?
gollark: My thing, for example, is designed to work in multiple tabs, and has a bit of code to share some data between them, but also, being a single page app™, does its own routing.
gollark: I'm going for *half* respecting browsers' builtin useful features and *half* randomly reimplementing things.
