When I accidently (or otherwsie) "Back" off the BlocklyDuino Enhanced (BDE) webpage, my Blockly code is lost. On the other BlocklyDuino site that supports a more limited set of blocks plus a set of Grove blocks, if I "Back" off the web page, I can then recover by click on the "Foward" button. The "Back" and "Forward" buttons are the "Left Arrow" and "Right Arrow" buttons right next to the URL (Web Address) text box at the top of the web browser. I am using Google Chrome, but problem occurs on the other browsers I've tried as well. That other BlocklyDuino website is at this URL: https://blocklyduino.github.io/BlocklyDuino/blockly/apps/blocklyduino/
You can test it there and see how the sketch is preserved. I find BDE frustrating to use because I have athe bad habit of clicking on the wrong thing and when its the "Back" button, or some other link, once I'm off the BDE web page my work is lost. It would be great if you could fix this problem. Obviously the other group were able to do it. Other than that, I like what directions you are taking Blockly Duino Enhanced and I hope to be able to use it in some classes I'm putting together for our local school district.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
In TUNIOT, the version of BlocklyDuino Enhanced for the NodeMCU (an ESP-8266 WiFi SoC based MCU board), I see that you have fixed this problem by inactivating the web browser's Back and Forward buttons both in the "URL address/toolbar" and the context menu that appears when you do a right mouse click. This will go far in making this a "bullet proof" software development platform. I only hope it has also been done to BlocklyDuino Enhanced, which I can't verify because the website seems "down", at least from here in the U.S. Hopefully, the BDE website will be up again soon, as I was working with an Arduno Uno project. Guess it's a good time to test out TUNIOT with my various ESP8266 based MCU boards.
