From a user, perspective what is the difference in treating the entered text as null or empty? I understand at code or database level it can be useful but why should a user select this option?
Thank you for your insights and the link. I went through the link and it had useful information. Interaction preview during onboarding is a good idea but unfortunately, my app is not a native app. Even I am leaning more towards showing the dots as it will provide more space for the current card.
Thank you for your response. I agree that showing the past and previous cards create a sense of continuity. My concern about this approach is the space, with this approach I would end up shrinking the size of the main card.
@Levon: Personally, I would go with an endless scrolling approach instead of pagination. For example, the user would have to make 5 clicks to reach the 16th item in the list. Your layout looks similar to Facebook or Instagram which uses an endless scrolling approach. Most of the social media users are already trained with his approach and moreover, I believe it is easier to scroll than click in a mobile device.
