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!
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.
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.
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.

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

There have been 3 videos to develop this DSL.
1st the original idea: https://breckyunits.com/oneTextarea.html
Then an implementation https://www.youtube.com/live/97T0TaYTYrw?si=_3MxIHaQ0HVWwMS4
And the latest email of the form: https://www.youtube.com/live/_3jrpATE1cY?si=EiCZV89PhHB-aU0c
