Ever found yourself not filling in a form column without even realizing it?

Here's my exploration of the User Interviews website.

In this exploration, I learn a lot about how placeholders in form fields often hurt usability more than help it.

When text is already present in a field, users may not realize they can input their own information. Some individuals may mistakenly assume the placeholder text is a default value and consequently overlook the field altogether.

Here are some sources you can read:

1. Placeholders in Form Fields Are Harmful

2. Form Design Best Practices

3. Alternatives to Placeholder Text

So, what do you think? 🤔
