Cancelation prompt is unintuitive
After hitting the "Cancel" button when writing or editing a post, a prompt shows up that says > Any unsaved changes will be lost. Are you sure? > > [Okay] [Cancel] Hitting [Okay] will kick you out of the editor (as expected). However, hitting [Cancel] will also kick you out of the editor, *and will erase your save data*. While the second behavior is [actually pretty useful](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/277368)[^1], it isn't exactly intuitive – I would expect the Cancel on the prompt to mean "I didn't intend to click the Cancel button, let me continue editing." If possible, I suggest using a three-button prompt instead, such as > Would you like to keep your saved draft? > > [Keep draft] [Discard draft] [Continue editing] This would make the choices much clearer from a user standpoint. [^1]: Probably even intended, given the status-completed tag there
