I am begging you to fix this edit bug

a year ago by xyzzy to c/arctic

Arctic is the best iOS Lemmy app I've found. Thank you for making it!

But Arctic regularly loses my previous changes after an edit.

  1. Write a post, ideally a long one.
  2. Post it.
  3. Edit it several times in the next few minutes.
  4. Lose previous edits as you get a random revision of your post when you hit Edit.

The simplest solution would be to maintain a local post/comment cache for a period of 10 minutes or so after each post/comment. When you submit a post/comment or save an edit, it writes to the local cache. The text box on the edit screen would then load from that first, guaranteeing you don't lose changes due to eventual consistency delays.
