A form people will use

Acceptance for a real form — one ask, one thank-you, no theatre.

If Learn to Code gave you the tags, this lesson is the product test: would one tired person finish it?

Write the ask in one sentence

“Tell us which hymn is missing.” “Say which crate price is wrong.” “Put your name down for Saturday.” If you need a second sentence, you have two forms.

Acceptance before you decorate

  • The person knows what happens after they tap. “We read this on Sunday. We will not reply tonight” is a valid finish.
  • Every field has a reason. If you cannot say the reason aloud, delete the field.
  • It works in one thumb, outside, on mid-range Android.
  • You can explain where the answers go. File on your phone, a repo, a printed list — pick one. “The cloud” is not an answer.

What we will not ship this week

  • Payments.
  • File uploads of IDs.
  • A login so you can “see the dashboard”.
  • Five optional fields that exist because a template had them.
