Replit app dozed off mid-game and my Tuesday bridge group lost all the scores. Is that the free plan?

   Not the plan, the list. Anything you keep in a variable is gone the moment the app restarts, and Replit restarts it whenever it feels like it. Write scores to a file or Replit's built-in key-value database every time they change, and read them back on start. Sheet Saver lost cut lists the same way.

   Also on the free plan the app does go to sleep after a while with no traffic, so both things are true. Deploying it (the deploy button, not just run) kept mine up.

   Asked the assistant to move the scores into a small SQLite file and reload it on start. Tested by killing the app on purpose. My wife still says it's biased.
