Have you ever won­dered about why the aut­ofill­ing func­tion­al­i­ty in the brows­er works real­ly well for some web­sites but not at all for oth­ers? Or have you ever been annoyed when you could­n’t use key­board nav­i­ga­tion? Those are some exam­ples of hur­dles users have to face when they have to fill out a form on a website. 

Forms are some­thing users encounter reg­u­lar­ly on web­sites, and we, as devel­op­ers, have to imple­ment them. Although we devel­op­ers also encounter forms as users and know about pos­si­ble pain points, there are still forms with bad UX out there. Some­times improv­ing the UX of form fields would be eas­i­ly achiev­able. But from my expe­ri­ence, I know that not all of us (myself includ­ed) always real­ly think about it while imple­ment­ing forms.
