- padseeker 4y agoSo I started writing code for this back in 2017, and I discovered a lot of issues with the number input back in 2019 so I never revisited it. So I'm glad certain issues have been resolved, but there are still others. I could probably write an article just about why the number input is terrible.
- peterangular 4y ago> I could probably write an article just about why the number input is terrible. And, with as many people are saying outright "don't use numeric inputs" I would very much want to understand what issues you encountered, when, and, on what platform. Otherwise it sorta feels like FUD in 2022 to push against numeric inputs without specifying the actual issues. In other words, please do write an article. Although I'm skeptical, I would read it with an open mind + in good faith.
- padseeker 4y agoHey I just wrote a blog post of why the number input is terrible; https://blog.keenforms.com/why-the-number-input-is-the-worst-input/ https://blog.keenforms.com/why-the-number-input-is-the-worst... I also shared it on hacker news. I hope this helps.
