:boosts_ok_gay:​ 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"
