No UI expert either…
Some quick thoughts: for the first-time user, I think it’s more logical to read through the form and then have the generate button at the bottom.
For a user familiar with the form would a keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Enter) be more helpful (than a button at the top)?

I am no UI expert by any stretch of the imagination, but I am honestly not sure about this one. I would like to hear what others think. For one, I don’t think I’ve
seen many forms that do this. For the other, I think users should actually review

I am no UI expert by any stretch of the imagination, but I am honestly not sure about this one. I would like to hear what others think.
For one, I don’t think I’ve seen many forms that do this. For the other, I think users should actually review what is being generated, go through the options and then make a conscious choice to generate.
I have no doubt though that the UI could use some look and feel work. The truth of the matter is that neither I nor Bazlur are proficient in this area. Kito kindly agreed to take a look but he can’t get to
it until the weekend unfortunately. Maybe Jeyvison or someone else at Liferay could help?
I played with the 2.0 version of the UI and it felt a bit tedious to me to scroll down to the form to generate an application. The header of the Starter page takes a lot of space and getting to the form requires
scrolling even on a big resolution.
Please have a look and let me know what you think by commenting on the PR. The PR contains a screenshot and a video. Maybe it's not the best solution but I think we should make it easier to jump directly to
the form without scrolling.
