Explanations for form fields on create post page #71

Open sunnymui opened 5 years ago

If you login to the app i.e. localhost:3000/login, you'll get to the create post page.

Some of the form fields could use some explanatory text/instructions for usability. It can be a bit unclear for someone using the form for the first time on what is supposed to be entered for some of the fields.

These explanations could take the form of tooltips, descriptive text, or a combination of both.

For example, Updates is one form field that isn't immediately clear in terms of what you would put there. Radius could also be puzzling for someone without some kind of explanation. Some kind of guidance would be useful for first time users especially.
