Inspiration
Well, I was filling out a very extensive Govtech Form the other day, and when I was using my trackpad to scroll sideways for a table entry field, Google Chrome took it as a "go back to the previous page" command, and all my progress was lost. (True story btw)
The anger and annoyance spawned the innate desire to fix this problem, and hence this project was formed!
What it does
What it says it does - Literally saves your form data
How I built it
Javascript
Challenges I ran into
Govtech forms aren't like normal form inputs. You can't just read the HTML DOM and set value="some val". So it was time for me to start javascripting :<
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Something works after a short time period and my first hackathon :D
What I learned
I really need to improve my js skills.
What's next for Govtech Form Saver
Expansion to other types of forms? Idk I don't use other non-mainstream forms like typescript zzz (Google Forms already has an autosave feature now so I'm not so mad)
