love the react native effect: rotated my device or resized my browser and lost the current state (watching an embedded video in a feed; trying to log in; was unauthenticated)

If I made a rich text editor, I would make it impossible to use empty paragraphs or line breaks to space out paragraphs. In other words, I still have undealt with trauma from Wordpress.
