Further Notes

  • Both tools have some technical depth and ux dificits that need working on

  • In beabee the form builder is not fully self-intuitive right now

  • The Crowdnewsroom has more options in the form builder that have been developed based on the needs in investigations

  • Crowdnewsroom has options to sort through answers (verify, toss)

  • form.io used on beabee is more powerful as a form builder than the Crowdnewsroom form builder

  • Python/Django is not scaling as well as typescript/note.js

  • beabee has continuity in the team

  • beabee has design toolkit that speeds up the development of new features
