An update on the unofficial Tildes 2020 census

Hey everyone, I hope your life is good, and if isn't, it'll get better, so don't you surrender. :)

The census this year had a much improved response! As of writing this I've had 302 handed in forms! I'd also like to thank everyone who graciously donated to offset the cost for JotForms premium. I've almost broken even (Like 2€ off so it's not a big deal really). This post just serves as a simple update and a gentle reminder if you haven't filled out the survey but want to, or haven't gotten around to it or simply forgot. If you don't want to participate that's fine too.

As responses are still dwindling in, I'll probably keep the thing open for another week or so. Have a fun weekend!

    I was wondering about that. JotForms advertised their forms as "it's free" after you finish filling one out, but you said at the bottom of the census form that it costs money. I couldn't piece it...

    I was wondering about that. JotForms advertised their forms as "it's free" after you finish filling one out, but you said at the bottom of the census form that it costs money. I couldn't piece it together: what do you have to pay for there?

      I had a look at jotform pricing and it's free for 100 responses and then $30 a month for more. https://www.jotform.com/pricing/

        Good grief. What the fuck is this pricing? These types of services often charge $20 yearly.

          At ~300 responses, we could probably setup a self-hosted OhMyForm on a Raspberry Pi. Solves a lot of the privacy issues as well. Something to consider for next time @Grzmot

            Yep, I can assist with this sort of thing too, if needed. Lots of ways to skin this cat that don't require cash.

    September 15 is celebrated as International Day of Democracy. If possible release it on 15th please. Though I can't think of a reason to why, other than that it might just look cool.
