surv.app

With surv.app you can create advanced multi-page surveys in Markdown and style them with custom HTML/CSS. When Google Forms feels too simplistic or rigid, surv.app will do just right.

A survey in surv.app is just a Markdown document which can also contain valid HTML blocks. We provide some syntax extensions for asking questions, skip logic, and displaying previous answers.
