Form Assistant is a simple utility for entering data into web forms. Web pages can be zoomed in such a way to make it hard to click on input fields, read captions and move between inputs. The Form Assistant is designed to make these activities easier.

Pain points

  • Inputs on web pages are rarely large enough to easily tap on them to focus. Mainly due to zoom setting.
  • Moving between inputs is hard because tapping on them is hard and we have no hard keys to move between them.
  • Tab order can't be determined because we don't have a TAB key to move betwen inputs.
    • [madhava] isn't the issue more just that there's no tab key, so without the assistant there's no way to easily proceed from field to field?
  • Caption text can be hard to read if the page is zoomed out or fitted to screen.

Requirements

  • Make it easy to begin entering data into inputs.
  • Make it easy to move between inputs, in the given tab order.
