Feature description
src/lib/sessionDB.ts auto-saves the current video to IndexedDB under a single hardcoded key ("currentVideo", line 14) — only the most recent session ever persists; starting a new one silently overwrites the last.

Problem this solves
A user working on multiple videos across sessions (e.g., resizing several clips for different platforms over a few days) currently loses access to anything but the last one they touched.

Proposed solution
Extend sessionDB.ts to store multiple named/timestamped sessions instead of one fixed key, with a simple "Recent sessions" picker on load.

Alternatives considered
None here is scoped narrowly to video file sessions — this is distinct from #1541 ("Custom Template Save Feature"), which is about saving reusable settings/recipe presets via localStorage, not saved video files with their edits.

    Architecture notes

    Reframe is a static Next.js app with output: "export". Key points:

    • All video processing uses FFmpeg.wasm (client-side, no server)
    • headers() in next.config.ts won't work — use vercel.json instead
    • not-found.tsx requires public/404.html + vercel.json routes config

    Happy contributing! ⭐ Star the repo if you find it useful!
