In today’s episode of “Fix the forms, one at a time”, excellent iterative form design from @annaghartley’s child.
Note the inspirational change from first draft question (When will your meeting finish?) to more useful questions (Can I have a biscuit?)
(Via @DeanVipond)

Anna Hartley @annaghartley

Anyone else get messages like this from their child when they are working at home and on a Teams meeting?

2. Had to accept their booking conditions ...
