➕ REQUEST: Set autosave duration

Is there an existing issue for this?

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When editing a Resume, the autosave feature is disruptive. Moreover, I reckon that it creates several HTTP requests to the backend. Instead, please set an autosave duration of, say 30 seconds. Also, include a button on the front end to manually save the CV.

Describe the solution you'd like

Any edits to the resume are saved over a pre-defined frequency or manually. Add a button to manually save the resume.

Hey @mithunsridharan , can you assign me this issue if you are not working so that I can get started working on it ?

@itsajay1029 I've just started looking into code. I'm new to the entire Javascript frameworks, so it will be a while before I can fix this issue. Please take the lead on this. Please consider the following when implementing this feature:

• Default autosave duration via environment variables e.g., 30 seconds
• Autosave securely stores the changes in the browser cache
• Add a 'Save' button to transfer the changes to the backend

I haven't benchmarked the performance as I'm working with a DEV instance on my local machine, but reckon that these changes will also have performance benefits as the changes are not continuously transferred to the backend whenever changes are made, but only when manually triggered by clicking a 'Save' button. This may also require architectural refactoring e.g., using queues to persist the changes, but that's scope for later.
