Awesome! Fun building this today with you elviejo! We'll have to meet in person sometime.

Aloha everyone!

I would LOVE if anyone would be brave enough to record a user test using Loom.com (or other similar screen capture software), and explore this demo! If you are not sure what a Loom user test is, check out my comment history for dozens of them.

Together we can make web forms better for 5 billion people!

      This was SO helpful. Thank you so much!

      Immediately I realize that we need placeholder text in the textarea. Just tried to do it but actually requires a CodeMirror plugin, so will have to tackle tomorrow (https://github.com/breck7/scroll/issues/135).

      I was rooting for you to press a keyboard key that would trigger the autocomplete, such as "n", and then it may have clicked, but so helpful to see your (painful) experience so I know we need to surface that better, and provide more guidance.

      Tomorrow's version should be a lot better.

      Thanks again!!!

      Also, appreciated the commentary on the blog post. Definitely not my best writing, and I will clean that up at some point too.

      This made my day. Thank you.

        Any time! I think the blog is good. It targets engineers and those are of course important people to convince. Maybe a paragraph that explained in concrete terms the benefits for the end-user could be helpful.

      Okay, I've updated now with an example! Thanks again.

Breck Yunits continues working in scroll. On this demo in the textarea you can see a code editor to submit a form. What makes it special is that DSL used to create the form is the same DSL used to send the form by email.
