Maybe one more will help. ## Community discussion Top comments from developers on daily.dev. **@petermrozek** · 3 upvotes > Sometimes I can't get through 5 of them, let alone 47.

Give me a form with text areas and there's a 90% chance I won't even start filling it. 😁 **@diyweb** · 2 upvotes > A 47 question form is a great way to collect zero answers. Asking only for what you need right now, and saving the rest for after the first contact, does more for completion rates than any design tweak. **@suruchrisabiye** · 1 upvotes >  **@andychiare** · 1 upvotes > Funny thing, but not far from reality! **@andychiare** · 1 upvotes >  --- Tags: [#webdev](https://daily.dev/tags/webdev), [#ux](https://daily.dev/tags/ux) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/why-does-nobody-finish-the-form--celrbhezf) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DiscussionForumPosting","mainEntityOfPage":"https://daily.dev/posts/why-does-nobody-finish-the-form--celrbhezf","headline":"Why does nobody finish the form?","text":"Discussion about \"Why does nobody finish the form?\" on daily.dev - join the developer community","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/why-does-nobody-finish-the-form--celrbhezf","datePublished":"2026-10-06T09:53:01.887Z","dateModified":"2026-10-06T09:53:10.536Z","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Risto Tõldsep","url":"https://daily.dev/ristotoldsep","image":"https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a/ACg8ocLDWc6mZn0JwNmXXw6WY0L_HJ6pegzRttooC5VgtXESHSj3MNYx=s96-c","description":"Full Stack Web Developer & Designer","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"EndorseAction"},"userInteractionCount":12240}},"image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--wyqLWzj4--/f_auto/v1791280382/posts/CelrBHeZf?_a=BAMAMicg0","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":44},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":17}],"comment":[{"@type":"Comment","text":"Sometimes I can’t get through 5 of them, let alone 47.
