Nice, seems like a good learning project. Black screen on mobile was disappointing, but oh well. I've thought about video editing in the browser before. I understand there's a memory limit, something like 5GB iirc. Have you experienced that yet?

hmm yeah you will probably get black screen when its still loading, it is pretty big because of ffmpeg, probably about 50-80mb to load, ive noticed it myself but its usually couple of seconds, thats error on my end because im handling that loading not right because it should show loading indicator but its not ... but it wont work on mobile anyways, i need to fix problem with drag and drop because its simply not worki…

For anyone wondering why you are getting black screen, sorry for that, I completely forgot about handling it correctly, mine project was already cached so i forgot about this problem, basically you need to wait until it loads about 50-80mb PS: thanks to anyone for giving me github stars :)

oh thx for the heads up. I was wondering if it was an issue with my browser addons blocking stuff from loading

Automatic saving seems like the best option. Then you can always just re-open the tab. Undo is better than confirmation.

FWIW a few people fly around the web with persistent cookies and localstorage disabled except for selected sites -- once the tab is closed, the data is flushed, and re-opening the tab won't restore it. I'm one of those people. I recognize that this is entirely a "me" problem and don't expect anyone to change the way their software works to accommodate this behavior. Just raising a flag.

I would use the following behavior: the first time (loaded with empty storage) ask for confirmation, the next times (if loaded from storage) don't ask.

This would prevent people with auto cleanup to loose their work and avoid annoying others too much.
