Hi @riya-rjha can you tell me what is the confusing part?

Here's the confusing thing. Generally we tend to click on the place to write text where we see the placeholder . But here the placeholder is at the top & the text appears to be written below it. This part I found a bit confusing. Plus the handleSubmit which is a bug, I would like to work on that too. If it augurs well with you, then could you please assign it to me under the GSSoC label?

Hi @riya-rjha for the placeholder and text part the issue, is somewhat related to the theme and color handling. If you look the same ui in dark mode, you will find the placeholder text as well. You can take up this issue and fix that.

As for the post button issue, we have to hold it off since the backend is going for some major changes. I think due to this it is happening. Can you confirm what is the version of appwrite is installed into your system after installing the package. It should be 13.0.x to work perfectly
