We need a Prompt when user accidentally clicks (or refreshes) while using utopian.io editor!

Suggestion:

A simple prompt is needed while refreshing a page or clicking at anything while a user is writing on utopian editor.

How it would work ?

  1. Let's say the user is writing a contribution on utiopian.io editor:

  1. And he accidently clicks anywhere else ! An alert should pop up asking do you really wish to leave the page ?

Advantages:

In an event where user accidentally leaves the editor, a draft is automatically saved in the drafts. However, if somehow, it does not get saved because of let's say: the connection with steem is down, then the user may end up loosing all work. The suggestion would make life much easier for the user.

Disadvantages:

Since the prompt box looks different for different browwsers, some control over how the UI responds is lost. To tackle this, instead of a simple browser prompt, some app inherent prompt could be uised. This way control over the UI beahaviour is retained while improving user convinience.

Thanks.
