When was the last time you intentionally hit the Clear button on a form? You know, that button that looks nearly identical to “Submit” and is usually placed right next to it but performs the most destructive action possible?
HTML tutorials stopped including the Clear button about a decade ago with good reason.
immediately after reading this post, i updated instapaper to 2.1 and mistakenly cleared my twitter login information in settings, using a button that appeared at the top. is there any way that this can be removed? i think it’s sort of covered with the circled “X”s that appear when you focus to a form blank, and i don’t know if such a simple prompt needs two ways to clear the data in it.
(while i’m on my soapbox: for the past year instapaper has changed the way i read on the web. it is by far my favorite iphone app. thank you for making it.)
