904035 - Unfinished thimble project draft gets recovered when trying to remix another make

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 913725

(Webmaker Graveyard :: Thimble, defect)

Description

[Soledad Penades [:sole] [:spenades]]

- go to thimble.webmaker.org, creates a new blank project
- then in the same tab type in webmaker.org
- choose a thimble-based make
- click remix

Expected: it should show the source of the make we want to remix

Actual: it shows the source of the empty thimble project we started and abandoned

there isn't really a way to tell whether you abandoned the project, or whether you accidentally closed the browser. However, we should be able to change the way this works so that it goes "There's an old copy in your localstorage, do you want to resume that? If so, click here".

I'm going to take out the "parachute" from friendlycode, so that there will be undo/redo while editing, but no autorecovery when you open thimble a second time, or after closing and reopening the browser. It's actually getting in the way more than it helps.

While not a true duplicate, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=913725 has to actually remove the parachute for the "new" menu option to work correctly, so this issue is implicitly folded into that work.
