Write to Speak User Stories (React/MongoDB)
As a literacy (reading/writing) early learner or older learner with a literacy-related disability, I need to:
- Get excited about reading and writing (instead of frustrated when I have trouble).
- Hear what I have so far so I can keep my train of thought going and continue with my next idea.
- Hear if I put the wrong word in anywhere.
- Share my text with friends and family, some of whom cannot read.

User Feedback Notes for Creature Watcher's Creature Logger
1. Make the back button work to take you back to the list of names you were just looking at.
(And while we are at it, make the back and forward buttons work for all "pages.")
2. Sometimes there is a (rather short) lag between entering a common name and when the list pops up. When you are
not used to it, you have no idea something like this is about to happen.
(Consider showing the instructions even before the results come back from ITIS, ideally along with a spinner or something similar.)
 
3. "Add Sighting" at the top could be confused with "Save," especially since the input form is shown when you first visit the sight.
(Consider changing it to say "New Sighting." Also consider making the new visitor click on "New Sighting" before he sees the form.)
