Data is lost when exiting unexpectedly

Dijo seems to only save its data when it is closed manually (using the q shortcut or the :quit command). If it is closed in any other way, all data since the start is lost.

I just rebooted my computer and lost data of the last 5-7 days. I'm not going to use dijo again.

But I wanted to open this issue nontheless to save others from my mistake and so that dijo can maybe overcome this limitation.

The documentation is sparse around this, but you can save progress in two ways at the moment, with the :write command (save) and with the :quit command (save and quit).

all data since the start is lost.

Data since the last save will be lost, if dijo does in fact deviate from this behavior, it might be worth opening another issue with your OS details, and the outputs of rustc -v and dijo -V.

If you are looking for an autosave feature, it has been requested over at the feature thread, but I am not too sold on the idea, dijo's save behavior mimics that of other popular programs: neovim, vim, cmus, weechat.
