FOSS alternative to google forms?

I'm looking for an FOSS alternative to google forms that doesn't require people to sign in. If anybody has a suggestion that would be much appreciated

Cryptpad has Forms. You can choose if users need to sign in. Looks like you don't even need an account to create one on their official instance. It's self-hostable too.
- It's useful but opening such a form takes nearly as much time as filling it out
  
  Looks like the link was to the form builder, not the data intake side of a built form. I didn't make one to verify that side is different though.
- I'll check it out. Thank you
- Strongly agree with using cryptpad as a replacement for google docs in general, it's very good and we use it a lot for all sorts of things.
  Only downside is it can take a while to open despending on power of device and connection speed.

- I'll take a look, thanks.

In case, you're looking to do polls or schedule an event, then FramaDate is also pretty good. You can find a hosted instance at https://nuudel.digitalcourage.de/ .

Limesurvey appears to be good (among other sites, Switching Software is good to find alternatives).

mhm, nextcloud forms?

I use framaforms

One of the most useful features of Google Forms is automatically transferring the form input to a spreadsheet. Any of FOSS alternatives have that ability?
- Ha. Ha, ha. Ha, ha, ha. Nope, though that'd be awesome!

Baserow or nocodb come to my mind. They are actually airtable alternatives but also include a forms feature

technically something like symfony - or any comparable language - is much more flexible though you obviously have to do more programming

I like HeyForm. Here's the source code, as well as instructions for self-hosting. It looks very clean and modern, and has a similar UX to Typeform.
The second best option would be Nextcloud Forms (source code).
