Hey, like I said, it's just the first preview version of the platform. Even though the editor auto saves every 200ms to the server, there is no local caching. So even if we lose data, it's going to be a couple words. But still it's unacceptable, that's why I put up the disclaimer.

- Once the typesetting engine is finished you can export the books and sell on your preferred platform.

- Uploading each chapter would be finished when I move the editor page to a SPA. That way we can get a more stable editor and a better authoring experience.

Loosing a few seconds of work isn't that big of a deal. It certainly isn't worth a scary warning.

But, what's more important is to warn when saving isn't working.

That is already implemented. Still there might be race conditions with the current implementation, didn't wanted anyone to lose any data. It's frustrating as hell to rewrite something from memory.
