Save your work feature enhancement

[joshuawalcher]

Users should be able to:

1. Register with the website with a simple username and password only (email optional, but required for resetting password)
2. Save their work automatically as well as by button press.

This is a client-side only application right now, does it mean you plan to add in a backend?

[joshuawalcher]

Yes, we'll be adding a backend.

The database schema will be added to the project and checked in, and there will be a config file that will be .gitignore'd, though a default blank config file will be checked in before the ignore.

The intent is to allow users to be able to save their work if the database is present. If the installer wishes to continue to rely on localStorage (i.e. db not present or config file not filled out), that should also be supported.

Is the PHP / MySQL backend still in the works? A Python backend could be a great solution.
