Soo important for big companies to get accessibility right because everyone else copies them. #a11y
This tweet was inspired by Google's Material Design form fields which look the same when inactive and disabled. Material design text fields in 6 states: inactive, focused, activated, hover, error, and disabled. The inactive and disabled ones have the same background colour and outline. The labels are in a different position and the helper text is faded on the disabled one.
I realized later that I'm pretty sure Google only uses these types of fields for very short, straight-forward forms like login and signup forms. Anything long and complex they use a different UI that is much more traditional and usable. Google Cloud admin form which uses more traditional form styles. There are persistent and clear labels all around!
So next time someone wants to use Material Design because "Google does it", I can say they actually don't always use it! Haha.
