I dont think you can do much, I tried to save my pattern when the website froze and it deleted all my progress- You might have to screenshot it and redo the entire thing again

All you can do is save often unfortunately. It runs out of memory sometimes, especially if you’re making a big pattern and/or running it in a browser which doesn’t have much free memory to begin with. I have been tweaking things to try to reduce the frequency, and need to take another look at it sometime soon but there’s only so much I can do with it.

Meaning, even if I manage to fix it 99% of the way, if someone tries to use the pattern maker from an old device with almost no memory, it will still happen because I'm constrained by the resources the user's browser has available. The site itself doesn't crash like that because the site mostly runs off my own server's memory rather than relying on the browser's available memory.
