Auto-save Maps
Using Google docs and a wide variety of other cloud services gets one used to the auto-saving feature of many of them. I have not been able to figure out how to get MindMup to autosave my maps as I work on them with enough frequency to save my work should the client crash, as it has done a few times. Please either implement auto-saving, or at least increase its frequency (I know it does some auto-saving)
this is already done. there are two types of autosaves:
1) most maps autosave to browser storage, to provide for offline work and to prevent network latency problems. in case the browser dies, just load the same map again and you’ll be offered to load local changes.
2) maps autosave to google drive using the google realtime API if you create a collaborative map. You can convert any map into a collaborative one by loading up the Realtime Collaboration extension and selecting Collaboration → Start from the main menu.
both these autosaves are on every change.

Uh, no, it's not already done. My map says "You have unsaved changes in this map". There is a big Save button. When I close the browser I get a popup warning saying I have unsaved changes. That's NOT autosave.
Please implement this. Having to remember to press Save all the time is a hassle, and feels kinda silly honestly.

I worked on my map for 3 hours and the computer died. It went back to the old map.

maybe windows is evil, and would have done whatever you didn't want it to do, no matter what you did...
I will have to try out the collaborative mode with my son.

I had an inssue with this. Worked on a map, which I had saved to gdrive, did more changes, closed lid on my laptop, went to the meeting to present map, opened laptop, firefox crashed and when I selected "restore previous session" it was the old map that was shown.
(On win7)Maybe I shouldn't have selected to restore the session?
