Autosave
This sounds tricky to me. Isn't this more about making the Save action more accessible? Or maybe buffering to localstorage so the chance of losing changes is smaller? I think saving to persistence should be a conscious action.
I agree that it should be conscious, and having it more available, à la jsfiddle, in the header. This may also solve #194. Localstorage sound like a really nice "Doh!" buffer to add as well. Too many people auto persisting at a high rate can't be great.

why @sheriffderek and @joostdevries?
@cromwellryan One reason would be that your gist's revision history would grow very quickly and then become useless and quickly up into the hundreds if not thousands. I like to use twiddle to show short walk-throughs of Ember things - and I like to save at each important step of the process. Then the gist has the history of each addition to complete the example. I think that the local storage idea would be great.
I'm not sure what the details are on the github API - but with most APIs I've worked with have max request limits. I would imagine if thousands of us were using twiddle and autosaving every 30 seconds that our current arrangement with github may need to be reassessed. But I don't know the facts behind that. I would be interested to know.
