digitalmars.D - dpaste and warning upon leaving page

I just had a PEBCAK moment where I was composing a large-ish 
snippet on dpaste, then accidentally left the page by clicking 
the back button on my mouse. Going back to the page I see my 
changes were lost.

Could we maybe add a warning when leaving the page if the content 
has been changed? I think it's the onbeforeunload event, but I 
don't know javascript well.

Good idea.
I've added it to TODO list here

 nazriel, a bit off topic, do you have any plans to open-source 
the code? I'm using dpaste quite often and it would be really 
nice if I could contribute. Also can you provide an option for 
the nightly dmd builds? There's a nice script, which you can use 
to manage them (http://dlang.org/download - look for install.sh; 
https://github.com/dlang/installer/blob/master/script/install.sh).

Yeah, I am 100% for open sourcing everything and making it fully 
non-dependant on me. New version of the backend is already on GH 
and in the near future (matter of days) it will go live! :)

Regarding frontend - I am not sure if I want to release the php 
version. It is total mess... Small spoiler alert but D+vibed 
version of fronend is coming very soon and that will be on gh and 
deployed. stay tuned.

Nightly builds... At the moment we have got independant builds of 
master going on daily basics but I agree that using ready 
packages is better idea. Just please wait for the new version of 
backend to go live - it will support back history of compilers - 
so we will have past versions of dmd, ldc, gdc + current ones + 
nighly builds of all three :)

Also the speed and reliability of whole system got really 
improved.

I must admit that attending Dconf, speaking with CyberShadow and 
so on really got the wheel spinning :)

Damian Ziemba

I'm very glad to hear that! I hope in future we can merge your 
efforts with https://github.com/stonemaster/dlang-tour and move 
to github.com/dlang/ide.dlang.org and ide.dlang.org as Andrei 
suggested not long ago.

Yes! All, please keep me posted about anything and everything is needed 
to get this flying. -- Andrei

Could the layout be modified for mobile screens so the compile 
button appears close to the text entry box? At present the 
compiler options box goes below the options box and requires a 
fair bit of scrolling just to hit the compile button. dpaste is a 
really nice way of playing with minor bits of code on mobile.

IIRC chrome does this automatically.

This was using Chrome, version 50 or thereabouts. Tested it again 
now and it doesn't warn.
