Just like with Gmail, each character you type in a draft entry is automatically synced to the server. There's some throttling going on so that if you type characters sufficiently close together the system will wait until you pause before syncing. TiddlyWiki5 doesn't really give a name to this process, but it would perhaps be more along the lines of "autosync" than "autosave".

I'm open to renaming the feature if we can come up with a better alternative. Anyway, Cheers, and very well done! I look forward to the next one!
