Someone in Open edX Slack asked about floatingLabel on inputs, and if there’s an option (or should be an option) to force the floatingLabel above the input field so it doesn’t cover the placeholder while not in focus.
Jeff W. responded saying that 2U’s design language avoids floating labels, and that edX will have to use regular labels (or floating labels in a “floated” state), “except in instances where you really don’t want a regular label due to space or layout concerns”.
Questions:
Was this discussed in a PWG? Is the design team aware of this? How was this decision made?
Paragon is a design system for Open edX; it doesn’t feel quite right to be adopting 2U-specific design language into the design system for Open edX.
