Description

Using this issue to jot down ideas about the form designer. We could try to reuse dobt's form designer ... but if we _didn't_....

We could use [dragula](https://bevacqua.github.io/dragula/) and HTML5's [contenteditable](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Global_attributes/contenteditable), and simply serialize the DOM.

So there'd be a form area, and a way to add fields to it. Adding an `` would actually add a `

`. The `
` would have dragula enabled on it. Dragging it around simply rearranges it in the DOM. The `` and description `

` would have `contenteditable="true"`, letting the user directly edit their contents (which also just updates the DOM).

"Saving" the form would be a matter of exporting `formArea.innerHTML`. Sure, we could serialize it into JSON if we want to, but there may be an advantage to simply storing the HTML. For instance, you could very easily customize it to infinity. We'd just need a way to associate the fields with the data, but that shouldn't be too hard; just require that each field has a `` and use an underscorified_version_of_the_label as the field name.

Sounds like fun!
