Heads up that we are currently working on a Form application for CryptPad. We aim to provide an alternative to Google Forms that’s end-to-end encrypted and open source like the rest of our apps. The beta is live:
I’m currently doing user research ahead of the next round of design/dev work on the app. If anyone has feedback on design research use-cases (or any other use cases) please reach out!
I briefly did some work on the survey/form type stuff at Ushahidi for their data collection platform so happy to chat through what we found but it’s largely undocumented
Recently, I created a survey for the Wikidata Community. Details below:

Age: List of age brackets, only one selectable (radio button)
Gender: List of Female, Male, Non-Binary, prefer not to disclose, perfer to self-define(Text Field). Multiple selects possible (checkboxes)
Country of residence: A free form field (Data was normalized manually)

I am currently (job/occupation/duties): A list of possible things people do: In education, retired, employed, freelancer, primary caretaker… Multiple selects possible (Chackmarks)
Field of work: Text input.

On Wikidata, I made this many edits: Selection from several brackets (0-100, 100-1000, 1000-10000…). Single select radio button)
“In which of the following data related activities are you typically involved?”, list of activities, multiple selectable (checkboxes) + text field for activities that were not included in the form.
Anything else you would like us to know?: Text field, multiple lines.
Text with thanks and link to our testing pool for people interested in similar research.
The results are on Wikimedia Commons, on slides 4-8 you see how the survey looked when implemented (screenshots).
