🔎 Opened by loup from a user session recording.
The newsletter form performs no inline or pre-submit validation on the email field. The user only receives feedback after a server round-trip, and when the error occurs the form becomes unrecoverable (input and button disappear). Adding client-side inline validation would catch invalid addresses before submission and prevent users from getting stuck.
Verified from the recording at 0:12: Frame at 0:12 shows the error only appearing post-submit with no prior inline validation, and the form is left in an unrecoverable state with just the error message visible.
