Archived practice: explain the note limit ​

Earlier exercise

The current assignment is Rock, Paper, Scissors. This page preserves PRACTICE-001 from the earlier link-library exercise. It is not another task to complete.

PRACTICE-001 remains unfinished in the instructor's link-library repository. Prior trials implemented it in separate repositories.

Purpose ​

Help someone understand what they can put in the optional Note box.

Feature ​

IDWhat should changeExpected result
PRACTICE-001Explain the note limit beside the field.“Add a short note (up to 4,000 characters).” appears directly below the Note box before typing. The field is associated with its help text.

Examples to try ​

  • Open the app: the sentence appears below Note.
  • Save https://example.com with a short note: saving still works.
  • Save that URL again with a different note: the existing entry opens and keeps the original note.

Decisions and limits ​

Keep the existing 4,000-character limit. Change only help text and its HTML association; no new validation, database behavior, summaries, or other features.

The relevant file is app/public/index.html. Start with a plan before editing.

Work and checks ​

PRACTICE-001Add your own issue URL.Not implemented in this starter.Not verified for your change.

In your repository, replace this row with your issue, implementation link, and what you actually checked. LINK-001's existing tests check saving; they do not establish that the new help text appears correctly.
