I wanted to give credit to this project for having the foresight to save drafts as they're being written to avoid the inevitable:

Today I was writing a draft in BookStack, wasn't paying attention, and hit the 'back' button in my browser. Thanks to the auto-save feature, only 23 seconds of typing was lost.

Just another feature that other open-source DIY hosting applications might not have paid much attention to.

Thanks for the feedback @james-geiger. Great to know the smaller features like this have genuinely helped people.

Since it's been almost a year, I'll close this off. Thanks again though @james-geiger!
