I lost a draft post in Voyager on Android while I was a few apps away doing research and looking for a photo to add to the post.
That brought to me an understanding that Android will just kill apps for memory purposes.
Then I thought back to Windows 98 and how it had a page file that would write RAM information to the hard disk and use it as RAM. It was slow af, but it worked.
So I’m wondering: it’s 2026; why is Android just killing apps instead of writing them to a much faster drive for recall when needed?
Contact the developer of Voyager and request a feature to automatically save drafts. This is handled at the app level in Android, and it’s 100% possible for the app to handle this transparently.
It’s supposed to save drafts; it just didn’t in my case, and in other people’s cases as well.
The Voyager lemmy hasn’t been too interested in my feedback.
Then I suggest using Interstellar if draft saving is important to you. I’ve never had an automatic draft fail to save on Interstellar.
Jerboa did neither fail me on purging drafts no matter how often I paused and resumed it. But it’s a native Android app.
Cool, thanks for the recommend.
I think I’ll stick to Voyager for now and compose my longer drafts offline.
