User Story

As a Damus user who is composing a note and is concerned about spotty internet connectivity, I want to make sure that Damus auto-saves my note in the case that I lose access to the internet/Wi-Fi, so that I don't lose my note progress & I can broadcast later when online again.

Acceptance Criteria

1. Note auto-saves if not yet broadcasted,
2. If user disconnects from internet/wifi midway through drafting a note, note is saved and not lost,
3. User can close/open app, and resume drafting,
4. User can broadcast note when back online.

"Feature suggestion: A few days ago I tried posting something but my WiFi briefly disconnected. Would it be possible to save such posts as drafts, let the user know he is offline or send the post when back online? No clue how Twitter/Mastodon do it or if it is even feasible."

Taking out auto-save drafts, and auto-restore drafts upon app close/open as separate issue (https://github.com/damus-io/damus/issues/658), and closing this ticket.
