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).

IIRC chrome does this automatically.

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 :)

Regards,
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.

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