A list of timestamps in both file menus paid for itself only on the day something went wrong, and it was in the way on every other. The entries are gone; loadDocument now offers the versions where the browser copy has actually failed the reader — newest first, one question each, and the one taken up starts under the boot flag like any other document. The store loses its reactive singleton with them.

EdenText is a web-based, powerful word processor for everything from quick notes to full-length books. No server, no account — processing runs locally and your documents never leave your computer. Just one URL away, or completely offline as a slim browser app — only ~1 MB[^1].
|
|
|
|
> [!NOTE]
|
|
> EdenText is young, in **beta** and actively developed — more features are on
|
|
> the way. It is tested — the full suite plus LibreOffice round-trip checks run
|
|
> on every commit — but expect occasional bugs, and keep backups of documents
|
|
> you care about. The browser copy also keeps the last three versions of the open
|
|
> document, and offers them if it ever fails to load one.
