Working on simplifying the Sender form (while also working on a big update for Send with Keila on Keila Cloud).

I found that a lot of users filled out the reply-to fields even though they aren't really necessary. So I think I'll hide them in an expandable element now. #buildinpublic #uxdesign #foss #opensource

@keila

another approach is to write "(optional)" in the label. it's commonly used in form design, and works well if there's only a handful of fields, though the dropdown approach is also good and could be paired

really cool looking out for users, btw!

@pranabekka Yes, good point! In this case I chose to hide the fields by default because most users won't need them and it declutters the interface 😊
