ablativenotion··on Show HN: FormFiller – A JavaScript bookmarklet for repopulating forms
Fair enough. I haven't tested either one recently, but here is a dump of some past notes I took about improving the other one, as food for thought.

* put focus on submit button

* offer option during creation to auto-sumbit the form. trigger click event on the submit button.

* detect wrong form and alert user something like "This form does not seem to be the same form that was saved. Try anyway?"

This seemed familiar to me and I recalled this: http://www.benjaminkeen.com/open-source-projects/smaller-pro...

Any noteworthy differences between yours and that? (Honest question, no snark intended.)

ablativenotion··on Show HN: Automatically convert a website to Android and iOS
> I place the blame for this on users

Blame the users and Apple. Users for thinking for some reason an app is automatically superior. Apple for having no incentive to make users think otherwise. It greatly annoyed me how apple let their webapps directory rot until they finally removed it. For those that don't remember, webapps were the only apps when the iPhone first came out.
