Handle input length caps in the frontend #47

Open ogallagher opened 4 years ago

ogallagher commented 4 years ago

I’ve already had to make some changes to input lengths since I made them too low initially, and am realizing that users will be likely confused if they type a very long bio for themselves or description of a work, upload it, and then see it got truncated by the SQL server.

The frontend should at least be able to warn the user about these length limits, which will propagate pretty much anywhere there’s user input. For now, that’s: the login and register forms, contributed works, and account information (links, bio).
