My client has encountered a serious and frustrating bug in CouchCMS.
She was writing an article for the website and working hard throughout the day.
She tends to forget to press "Save" button every 5 minutes and has a habit to leave her computer for more than 20 minutes, which means that her session in CouchCMS has probably expired.
Then she was very frustrated when whe came back to her PC, finished the article (there was no any kind of notification that she wasn't already logged in) pressed Save button and was greeted with CouchCMS's login screen.
After logging in she saw that most of her today's work is gone.
Now I'm looking how to fix this bug and I think the solution is to have a cookie expire not in a Session, but a year, and a side effect will be that she won't have to login every time she wants to edit or post something.
And no, we don't care much about security, because the work is being done on a test server and we have a separate login system for regular visitors.
