Yeah, I know, I saw in my notes that you said that last year, and I've also thought about it before, but... I think with the current Google Forms/Sheets setup, it would be a situation where it'd just make one giant spreadsheet, which I would then have to manually break out into three separate sheets. Which isn't a prospect that like...thrills me, haha. Not to mention the time it'd take to put the new form together. (To give you a sense, I probably spent about 15-20 hours on this this week, which isn't like THAT bad, but I was only editing existing forms.) It might not actually be that bad, but I'd have to open sign-ups earlier in order to give full brainspace to fucking around with it, and I just don't know that that's ever going to happen.
Also, I don't know how I'd make it so that everyone didn't have to land on every page/it wasn't DEEPLY annoying for me to write (e.g. currently, to look at pages 2 and 3 of the bookswap form, I have to fill out page 1 in the preview thing every time I edit something). *thinking emoji* Unless it was just, like, an EXTREMELY long one-page form, which seems inelegant on your end. And then I wouldn't be able to control, like, what was required and not. *more thinking emojis*
Anyway, if you know somebody who's interested in being the swaps coding person, send them my way. Until then, most likely it's going to stay three sign-up forms.
Also, to be honest, people are bad at stuff/things happen, and I GUARANTEE YOU despite all these warnings someone's going to typo their information, and when that happens it's kind of nice for me to be able to check the other swap they signed up for and be like "ohhhh!" l o l.
ETA: Speaking of "things happen," hahahaha, thanks for the note on the c&p error in the drinkswap form. I edited it. I wonder if that'll fuck up the response spreadsheet? I've never touched a form after opening it before. Guess I'll find out!
ETA2: It WOULD also be nice to be able to like archive/edit people's past preferences and info. But again, not sure how without investing a ton of time to figuring it out. If anyone should pass by here and have an idea... :D
