Hello guys, I wanted to share with you and ask your opinion about my first open-source project.

FormsLab is a tool that can be used as a feedback app to collect feedback from customers, create polls for voting, or as a survey creator.

I would like to ask for your feedback and opinions. Thank you!

Good idea! I though about possibility to get to create survey page, and block "create survey" button while you are not signed in, but then we still will not see further process :/

Any suggestions?

How about no-registration test accounts (test123, test1234, etc.) that are limited to 1 survey, 3-5 questions, for polling 1-3 people, and that expire in 3-7 days? This should be enough for people to see if they like it.

But if everybody will have access to the accounts there will be mess. Unless you mean something like a button that will generate a sample account for you (and that's actually not a bad idea)

For now I decided to just allow users to go to survey create page. Further steps will require signing.

Thanks a lot for your suggestion!
