I have a puzzle for you. A famous one.

But if you didn't know the answer, try to solve it.

🧵
You are on a game show, being asked to choose between three doors.

Behind each door, there is either a car or a goat. You choose a door.
The host picks one of the other doors, which he knows has a goat behind it and opens it, showing you the goat.

You know, by the rules of the game, that the host will always reveal a goat.

Form validation is cool.

But have you tried to help users fill the form without errors?

🧵Here are a few tips on how you can do that
1. Reduce the number of inputs.

The less the user has to input, the less probability they'll make an error.
2. Auto-fill the data you can auto-fill

- Try to guess the user location, language, country etc.
- Put the current date/time if it's reasonable
- Save what the user has previously inputted
