I am at a complete loss. I have followed every single piece of advice on this planet to protect my data: I don't clear my cache, I don't run optimizers, I don't use registry cleaners, and my browser windows didn't even close. I did everything "to a T" to make sure this wouldn't happen, and yet, my entire history... months of work.... just got wiped.
...just gone, dude. GONE.
The most heartbreaking part? I can still see the data for a split second when I switch to any of the open tabs I had that I was literally still in the middle of working on. My open tabs have the data in them, for a split second, before it vanishes--- guys, I try to dev tools it HOPING to catch the network tab to see a .json before it refreshes and.... no. It just DISAPPEARS. My stomach is in knots, dudes. I don't know what to say. It’s right there, and I can’t grab it.
There is irreplaceable work in there, including logs with my daughter that I can't just "re-code." I know the standard line is "you should have exported," but when you are in the top 1% of usage, manually exporting every single session is a massive failure in UX. I feel physically ill.
Please-- I am begging you-- just give us a Bulk Export/Import feature. If the local storage is this volatile even when the user does everything right, we need a native way to protect our work. I shouldn't have to build my own Chrome extension just to ensure my life's work doesn't disappear in an open tab.
My cache is untouched for every other site, but my work here just vanishes. I’m seeing the data in open tabs for a split second before it disappears, so it feels like a sync or state-handling issue.
PLEASE, guys. PLEASE.
