  • I built a prettifier for Google Forms: https://gg.leftium.com/pretty

    Based on non-technical peoples' convention of using Google Forms to create sign-up pages (and even purely informational pages) like this: https://forms.gle/p74tnNRBA7cSQTpU8

    My prettifier supports markdown syntax, but Google Forms also supports WYSIWYG editing.

    There's even a Google-sheets based router for building a simple site with navigation:
