What's the coolest typeform you've stumbled upon?

WOW!!! @Liz - that film was so cool. a very great way to use the tool.. if that didn’t win, it surely made for an interesting evening of work lol.. 

kudos and bouquets to the team who made it.. 

@john.desborough Right??!?! The video is so cool! I also love film, so you’ll have to share what your son comes up with. I’m so curious to see!

For the sidebar, are you able to add code to the header/footer of the site? If so, that might be a better spot to add the widget code since it should automatically place itself on the site after you add the code. 

@James must have a couple of examples for us? 

@Gabriel Too many to mention here!! Check the inspiration articles on the blog for some cool ones.

At the risk of playing favourites, check out this Carbon footprint calculator, built entirely using Typeform - it's pretty impressive: https://climatehero.me/

I've been thinking of running a regular "Typeform(s) of the Week/Month" post here on the community where we highlight interesting typeforms that we've come across in the past few days. What do you think folks? @Liz @john.desborough 
 

@James - i think the ‘of the month’ concept is a great idea! I am always looking for new/different and better ways to enhance what i am trying to do with Typeform!

@Gabriel - there are a lot of inspirational ideas on that list that @James mentioned.. i am about half way through them and have way too many ideas and not enough time to try half of them out!! 

the carbon footprint site is incredible!! very cool stuff indeed..

Thanks, @john.desborough !

Thanks, @James !  I thought I’d get a higher ‘rank’ on that question but it’s actually averaging at 3.5. Still a fun question, though 😀

It’s one of my favorites! Just watched it this past weekend. And….after all the times I’ve watched it, I JUST found out the guy in the final scene that Will Smith’s character looks back on, is the REAL Chris Gardner. #LearnSomethingNewEveryDay 😂

Here’s one that I finally managed to put in front of the principal of my daughter’s school … lord knows it is tough to be an educator these days but admin in the schools just as tough. 

this was one of the original surveys i did in the classic builder but it converted easily into the new builder and would have been so much easier in the new builder from the getgo

Why do this?

here in Ottawa, there are 4 school boards under the Province’s Ministry of Education. All of the boards have adopted the simplest solution possible - they send out an email to all the parents whose children are registered in the school board with the link to the City’s Public Health Office survey which asks the same questions as in the typeform i referenced above. 

all the data goes to Ottawa Public Health but they are do not track any of the particulars on which student is the subject of the survey response. The City gets the number but none of the boards get THEIR data nor do any of the schools 

What i wanted to put in front of the principal was a survey that could track the same data as the Board/City survey in one of two ways:

• completely anonymous with no tracking of who was responding BUT providing a count of how many parents were actually responding to the ‘required survey’, how many kids should remain at home and how many MUST remain at home (they could correlate with attendance in class); or
• could be used by the individual school to send an email out to each parent/student  with the link in the email routing them to the typeform but with the email address as a hidden field arriving at the form. this would give them not only the attendance figures but also the individuals who were responding. 

i have talked to a lot of parents who are not completing the current board/city version because there is no penalty if they don’t complete. The principal at the school has no idea how effective the ‘marketing’ is being about getting people to read the update emails and the respond to the survey - overall Ottawa Public Health believes it is getting about 34-35% of the expected responses across all the boards. 

I have a process/report at the backend that will extract the input into a ‘response report’ at 9am and send to the admin email at the school so they can use it to correlate attendance figures to responses (if there should be 40 people absent due to should/must stay home and only 15 kids are absent from the school, there is a problem) and another one at 4pm to catch any stragglers reporting. This should help the principal adjust is marketing messages to the parents. 

this is not a shining example of what you CAN do with Typeform but for me it hit a functional MVP approach to trying to get and keep my daughter’s school healthier .. 

(i am still working through the logic on how to make a retail tshirt store that allows you to put things in the cart and cycle back to order more tshits all in Typeform… now that would be my really cool site.. )

Bravo @john.desborough  I love this, I really do. It's the perfect example of a fairly simple, well-thought out solution to a complex problem (as the best solutions are!) Have you (or the principal of your daughter's school) thought about touting it to other schools in the area? I imagine it's pretty helpful if the schools aren't getting that data from the centralized survey from the city.

I get quite taken aback at the level of "mucking in" to help combat the pandemic from wonderful people like yourself. It kinda gives you some faith that the human race isn't doomed when you see people getting together and using their ingenuity to solve a bugger of a problem like this. You only have to look here (pay particular attention to the embedded Airtable at the end) to see how everyday people all around the World can make a big difference in their communities and the wider world: https://www.typeform.com/blog/human-experience/community-kindness-covid19/

BTW, I accidentally hit submit so you might wanna delete the response from just now so I don't skew the figures (I guess all the parents are snoozing right now, so should be easy to spot mine).

Once you've cracked the logic for the t-shirt store I'd love it if we could feature it somewhere here on the community so we can all marvel at it. And just holler if you need a hand untangling any of the logic. There are lots of helpful folks here in Typeform who like to nerd out over this kind of thing *cough @Jo-Shan 

@john.desborough didn't realise the kids have only just been allowed to school over there. Here in Spain, we've been lucky that they've kept the schools open this whole academic year. Hope the principal finds some use for your form – and yes, please do keep us posted!

Actually now makes sense that it's a dummy form – the whole "school of hard knocks" thing should've been a clue – I'm the real dummy!
