  I've been trying to increase my knowledge and ability with designing user
  interfaces better. I've been reading and watching learning materials by
  experts to try to build better interfaces. One of the things I've been trying
  to get better at is web form design. I want my forms to be clear, accessible,
  and understandable. There's one piece of advice that I've gotten that has left
  both me and some other users confused in pursuit of cleaner, slicker looking
  web apps. Form input placeholders Form input placeholders seem great in theory
  but they're confusing, inaccessible, and less clean in my opinion insert video
  by great web designer and author about cleaning up a form users can't see what
  they inserted data form validation hints are gone once text is inserted leaves
  fields looking pre-populated as optional, unimportant, not a mental TODO
