yesterday i lost all my drafts on the utopian draft,
as this came with so much lost of my draft post,
i got about 17 drafts i was saving cause they weren't yet ready for me to post
well it happen cause i got a new phone,and wiped the memory of my old phone so getting the drafts became impossible as i understand the caused of it all,
the thought of losing those draft never occur to me as i assumed it was already saved to draft and any thing drafted can be visited anytime
like how the gmail draft works after saving an unsent email,
it is saved in the draft and can be revisited any time from any device,
so after logging onto my new phone, it was so sad i couldn't find even one of the drafted post(you already know the feeling)
first i thought it was a bug, that was my first and second guess,
a situation where i can find the draft on the saved browser but can access it when i used another browser.
experiment
on the video below i saved a post into a draft and went to Mozilla to check if i could access the draft, but it was no where to be found,
i went back to chrome, the draft was there.
meaning it could only be accessible from same browser it was saved unlike the Gmail for example where the drafts can be accessible when you gain access to your account.
i notice that saving a draft with a particular browser will only be seen by that same browser provided the data of the browser has not been wiped
and using any other browsers to access that drafted post won't and can never be possible ,
and that's bad, i think the drafts are saved in the form of cookies and not stored on the utopian users data base like the facebook draft where after saving a draft can be lost when user login in with another credentials will delete any of your save drafts, but on gmail and yahoo the drafts are always their.
post still save since 3 years back
and this
now i had to start from a fresh, i can't even remember some,
my assumptions was right as drafts are save on the type of device or machine used
i plead with the dev team to help out with this kind of losing drafts when login in to a new device or wiping your browsers cache and build the kind of drafts Gmail and some reputable sites used as it will come in hand later in the future

@marshalllife as you figured the draft in Utopian/steemit/busy are saved on your local machine(browser) so if you change the browser or wipe your cache everything will be lost so i suggest that you rebuild your contribution and change the category to suggestions category cuz i think this will be great addition to utopian and thank you .

reactify, thanks for that little brief now i fully understand ,
dear Utopian clearing cookies or wiping browsers data might be dangerous if you have a save drafts as it maybe lost for ever, for now until the dev team can make a forever young draft for the utopian.io people
