bigdom1023··on Show HN: A website to build and host a form that writes to your Google Sheet
Definitely not closed off to turning this into something that makes money, but as of now this is more so just a fun side project I was interested in building and think that it could potentially be helpful for people -- especially as I add more and more features to it in the near future

And yes, though Google Forms already exists, I think that having the form write directly to Google Sheets can be useful for some people who might want to do something with that data in their Google Sheet (create charts/graphs or calculate stuff with the data, etc.)

I also plan to add pre-defined layouts to the form builder which people can choose from and also more HTML/CSS (and potentially JS functionality) that people can integrate into their form without having to write code, which I don't believe is something Google Forms offers

Interesting take regarding the "don't build stuff that makes you dependent on Google" -- I definitely can resonate with that.

My motivation for building this was more so to capture a larger audience of people by integrating my website with software that so many people use, namely Google Sheets. And I see my audience to be non-technical who might want to build and host a quick form to collect emails or create surveys. They can do this without having to set anything up like a front-end or database.
