Feature request to self: draft posts

I should really add some draft post functionality to this blog. Over the years I've had several and some of them I even finish but the way I keep the drafts around is just keeping the new post tab around as one of my hundreds of tabs. This used to be a lot more flaky and I'd lose some drafts that way, as the new post page is mostly just a simple textarea tag.

I also think I lost a few drafts when I did a tab migration from my old computer to my new computer and didn't think about some of the implicitly saved form state before I closed all the tabs on the old computer.

Anyway, it's just dumb to keep drafts around forever like this... And some I realize I should probably not post ever, or at least not for a long time, but I don't want to delete them, and I don't want to just stuff them in a corner of my file system....

As a compromise, maybe I'll use this post to anchor some drafts but hidden in HTML comments so only people who are really bored (or AIs) will care about reading them.
