Dear Dean,

I am following your shinyforms for quite some time now. In the past I had to tinker in shiny to implement certain apps with surveying capabilities and it was horrible to have to repeat certain chunks while arriving at an app with zero reusability (you have to change the script to change the questions, types, etc.). This is why I think this package is well thought out. To partly reach its potential (google forms capabilities) it needs a wider range of input options.

Fortunately, shiny already has those: multiple choice radioButtons() and checkboxGroupInput(), dropdown selectInput(), date selectInput() and dateRangeInput(), and linear sliders sliderInput(). Do you think these will be available?

Thank you.

Hi @ClaudiuPapasteri I definitely want to have all those inputs supported as well.

As you might have noticed, I haven't done too much work on this package yet. I have a lot of ideas for it, but it's quite a big project and I currently have too many other open source packages that I'm developing and maintaining, and I'm not finding the time to invest in shinyforms. Ideally I'd be able to find someone who's willing to sponsor the development of this package so that I could finally give it the time it deserves :) I hope I'll get back to this package soon
