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:

[Forms on cryptpad.fr](https://cryptpad.fr/form/)

[Documentation](https://docs.cryptpad.fr/en/user_guide/apps/form.html)

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:

> **Summary**
>
> - Information paragraph with purpose, link to GDPR etc.
> - 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)
> - Education: Years in formal education was number-input field
> - 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.
> - I have been active on Wikidata for…[years], numerical 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.

The creation UI might be a good candidate for a heuristic evaluation, too.
