Show HN: Free Survey Creator
This is really nice. I went ahead and made a survey (easy process!) but once I received my embed code I was surprised. The script generated when I made my survey is named in a very predictable, incrementing format. I looked at a few others' surveys by changing the #.js in my embed code.
There needs to be some kind of protection to at least keep people guessing numbers, because I don't want people embedding my survey on their site and interfering with my results.
This looks fantastic - I like the design and obviously I like the free. The interface is much more attractive than the standard SurveyMonkey and Google Forms options.
Two big questions come to mind. First, do you have or plan on an option for people who don't want to embed a survey but link to one outright? Second, do you expect to leave this up, and if it were to become heavily used do you have a plan for monetizing or are you willing to eat the hosting costs?
I ask because with a bit of reassurance that it will stick around, this looks like a nice, clean tool I have regular use for.
As someone who does quite a bit of survey work, this looks great for lightweight stuff. I'm biased, but a key part of almost all survey work I do involves cross tabulation, which requires an ability to manipulate the collected data. Do you have any plans to handle data export to SPSS files, or to have a web-based analysis tool that would enable generating simple cross-tab reports?
Also, a small nit: lack of www caused a heroku 404 page, not sure why. After clicking the link once, this stopped happening.
This is a little off topic, but the detail of updating the reflection when you select radios on the landing page is really slick.

Wow. This is really easy to use. I can definitely see myself using something like this. Thanks for sharing.
What's the latest on Survey Monkey? They have raised insane amounts of cash.

Shameless plug, my side-project: http://flisti.com/ -- Flisti, a free poll creator without signing up.
The service looks pretty great but freesurveycreator.com makes me terrified it's a malware site.
Here's my first thought: Pretty and simple. Second: Who is this?
Sorry, but I don't like signing up to random single page apps without background knowledge about it. Why should I post my email to even more potential spam sources voluntarily?
I do realize everyone has to start somewhere, though.
I like that you ask for username and password at the very end, after user had demoed the product.
Best of luck you're competing with (Qualaroo) Hiten Shah and crew.
If you are interested in Surveys based at a location, I'd like to recommend my company: www.RoomPoll.com
It's free as well!
This is great — I was actually thinking about making an open-sourced version of this.
Do you have any plans of opening up the code?
It would be nice to see some examples more than a mockup on the landing page. Both of the builder and the way to fill out the survey.
Is this strictly for surveys or also quizes and other related form-things? Edit: I see now this is for way smaller surveys than I thought. It's basically just a small widget you get from the service.
Shameless plug, I work for Typeform (http://www.typeform.com) where we have a incredibly UI for both building and filling in surveys/forms. Check it out if you're looking for a survery/form/quiz SaaS that have the biggest focus on UX/UI and for more complex forms.
