I have been tinkering with the idea of setting up several polls or surveys in order to better get an opinion of the coldbox community. However, I wanted to ask the community what polling software or services they believe are good. I would prefer a solution where I wouldn't have to host it, but more of a service that can generate the HTML for me, sort of like: http://www.questionpro.com/poll-software.html. Or maybe a survey solution would work also. Anyways, I guess the less maintenance I have, the better. What are your thoughts? What would you recommend as far as polling or surveys goes?

MatchBox and WebAssembly: Running BoxLang in the Browser and at the Edge
The MatchBox open beta is live at https://boxlang.ortusbooks.com/boxlang-framework/matchbox, and it brings something genuinely new to the BoxLang ecosystem: a path into WebAssembly.
That means BoxLang code can now move into browser applications, static-site deployments, edge runtimes, and WASI-style containers - without requiring a JVM. The feature is still beta, but the core direction is already useful: write BoxLang, compile it with MatchBox, and ship the generated WASM artifact to wherever a small portable runtime makes sense.

BoxLang 1.14.0 : Navigate Anything: JSONPath Comes to BoxLang's DataNavigator
Every application eventually has to deal with deeply nested data. JSON API responses with payloads six levels deep. Configuration files where the key you need is buried inside an array of objects, one of which has a null for the field you thought was required. Module metadata structures that nobody wrote a schema for. Runtime introspection data shaped like a tree that grew without a plan.

The open source Coldfusion based Soundings project looks like an interesting survey project. Located here:
http://soundings.riaforge.org/
I have yet to use this but from the literature it sounds like a good solution: I will be looking to implement a survey in the near future so if you could let me know how you make out with this or any other solution that would be very much appreciated. And I'll do the same. Thanks.

I'm a bit biased, but I think Soundings is a good solution, although it doesn't meet your preference to be a service. If you do use it, or try it and don't like it, whatever, please let me know.
