In-place editing

[equaeghe]

Currently, to edit a contact, event, or task, a button has to be clicked at the bottom of the editing box. This button may be ‘far’ when, e.g., there is a large note, which may cause it to fall outside of the viewport.

One option is to move the editing/saving/... buttons to a bar at the top or bottom which never scrolls away.

One option is to make the note box scrollable and try to fit everything on one screen, but that may be futile given the large variety in screen sizes and the possibility of many fields in a contact. Another option is to make editing a more local thing. There may be practical objections that this would require many syncs with the server, but this may perhaps be worked around by grouping those. A nice JavaScript library for in-place editing is https://vitalets.github.io/x-editable/.
