How to recover Pybricks block code which is not backed-up.

[rajeshsubramanianus]

Hi,

We have been working for our FLL competition for the last 1 month and completed almost 90% of the code. We are using Chrome as IDE and Patreon login to code. We didn't backup any file since the code was available every time when we opened the laptop/browser. But today the laptop got restarted on its own and now after login we are NOT able to see any code. All our work gone in thin air just a minute! Can you please help with any option to recover the code?

Thanks,
Rajesh Subramanian.

Programs are stored offline in your own browser, so we don't have any access to anyone's files I'm afraid.

Is it possible that your browser storage/cache was deleted during a routine update? Did Chrome show any errors when you opened it after that unexpected reset?

We didn't backup any file since the code was available every time when we opened the laptop/browser.

In the future, you can conveniently back up all files at once like this:

You can also click the camera icon next to the code for a visual backup.
