Further info, I've still not tracked the cause, but if I add nonsense like a single character in input, then it works. If I copy and paste a bunch of tags, post content, and the title, it comes up blank. It seems to be either the title or the slug that causes this bug.

EDIT: Been able to trigger the bug consistently by pasting the title from ChatGPT so far. Now I need to test if just pasting the title in general causes this.

How long is this title? or tags? htmly save the slug (taken from the title) or tags as filename so it is possible that the filename exceeds that allowed by the OS.

Edit: Next release we will limit the max slug length generated by it.

Not excessively long. I typed them manually and there was no issue. But, if I paste and then save the draft, it doesn't create the draft. I have to ensure to paste all the content for everything elsewhere before hitting save, just in case.

Here are the tags (copied and pasted from ChatGPT):

CapCut, open-source, video editing, Kdenlive, Shotcut, OpenShot, editing tools, free editors, content creation, TikTok, privacy, alternatives, free video editors, video editing software.

Try to copy and paste with shorter title or tags, during copy paste sometimes we include other char/words so it reached the OS character limit for filename.

See: https://docs.htmly.com/tips-trick/online-or-offline-writing

The current htmly limitation is limited to the characters allowed by the OS for a filename. If the slug is too long or has too many tags, it can exceed that.
