From the discussion in #18 and pull requests in #90 & #93, I think we could add several customizations to the form. For example, we could make it have less assumptions (which element IDs are used for thank-yous or the forms) and store this data in data- attributes instead. Similarly, we could allow those attributes to store values such as which Google Sheet to push data to or email even.

This requires some significant rewrite and restructuring of the form data in some cases. If someone feels up to the task, but there are a lot of moving parts here.

Because of this, I wanted to open up discussion to see what types of customizations are most important. Based on feedback and issues I have seen, I have some ideas, but I wanted to keep it open for others. Once I have an idea on what I would suggest, I will write it down here, but feel free to propose other ideas as well!

For example, we could make it have less assumptions (which element IDs are used for thank-yous or the forms) and store this data in `data-` attributes instead.
