User-fills-in-input conditions

One pattern that's been a little cumbersome in Userflow has been to perform an action - such as go to next step - when the user is done filling in an input field.

Before, you could make a condition such as if Name input has any value. The problem here is that this condition becomes true immediately as the user types the first character. But, it's usually not appropriate to continue to the next step until the user is done typing.

This is where the new User fills in input condition type fits perfectly. It only becomes true once 1 second has passed without the user typing any more characters. This 1 second is reset with every keystroke, giving the user a natural feeling when being sent to the next step.

Here's a demo of how it works:
