Some errors you don't know. You can set it up again.

My Squiffy games do that periodically. It sucks. I try to back them up regularly, except when I forget... Some days, when I go to open them for editing, they are just blank documents. I don't know if they are deleting themselves when I open them, so I stop opening them for a while in the hopes that it will help prevent more of them from magically deleting themselves.

I really hope you find a solution soon. I need it too. All of my work disappeared today, and my backup is hopelessly out of date. Start over from scratch? Even my notes were in Squiffy.

It sucks.

I type out all of my games in Notepad++ and then copy and paste into the Squiffy program or online tool to test. Makes saving easy and less risk of loosing

If you are on a mobile device and have no Notpad++, you could set up a free GitHub account and work from a Gist.

You can even load your Gist into Scratchpad to test it easily before going through all the trouble of copying and pasting:
