What We Are Reading

From https://medium.com/user-experience-design-1/how-to-design-accessible-forms-in-10-steps-22232d65de18:

1. Break long forms into shorter, multi-page forms
2. Top align labels for input fields (use <label> and <input>)
3. Use hint text, not placeholder text
4. Use native form controls
5. Highlight elements on focus
6. Style and write errors correctly (use aria-invalid="true” as element attribute for screenreaders)
7. Label related fields in a group (<fieldset>)
8. Provide instructions
9. Clearly identify any required fields (attributes: required, aria-required)
10. Where possible, avoid time limits for users to complete forms

From the same author:

Design Thinking is Bullshit:

• why should we seek empathy, to take away the users' place? The users are already there. Include them.
• can current users imagine future needs? alternatively, can anyone?
• "Ethical Concerns with Creating Empathy" talks about bias in interviewing and when or how much to interview.
• interviews used the "5 Whys Tool" technique.
