UX design question: do you like it when forms warn you of unsubmitted progress before navigating away?
@f0x Assuming I've actually interacted with the form, yes. If it's still in its original untouched state, no. In many cases I would *prefer* a form just silently persisting my form input instead though, so that it'll be there if I come back later.
@joepie91 right, yeah it'd only trigger if it's actually different from the server's state. persisting would be possible but also a bit of a ui nightmare, you'd have to clearly mark it as "changed locally but not actually saved and changed yet", hmm
@f0x Might be worth borrowing some of the UI cues from slicers here, which generally have some way to indicate "this setting has changed from the preset"
@f0x mostly no. Because I navigate away when I changed my mind. But consider me an edge case.
@f0x yes but only because I hate closing forms accidentally
@f0x we appreciate it - it's not a big interruption but it saves us from the consequences of some misclicks.

this is in the context of the #GoToSocial Settings interface, it'd probably only trigger on the sidebar menu navigation, with a built-in pop-up that has an option to never show it again (not the browser-level popup)
