Add Supertag Data to Tana via Publicly Accessible Forms

Explain the problem as you see it

There's no straightforward easy way to get data into Tana from someone who doesn't use Tana.

I want a link I can send to a potential client that is formatted beautifully (that I can customize) that allows them to fill in field data (matching a preconfigured supertag). There's no native way to simply send a form to someone and get data into Tana.

Why is this a problem for you?

We need this for client intake, among other use cases. We used to be able to, in basically one-click, convert a table in Airtable into a form and share it publicly, allowing one-way access to adding data. No way to do this in Tana.

Suggest a solution

Similar to Publish, we need a way to publish a supertag as a form that folks can fill out. We should be able to make multiple forms in different styles with different fields for each supertag, not just one. For some links, we may not need all the data, for others, we will definitely want that. But we don't want to make a bunch of supertags just to deal with hiding and showing public fields. And the descriptions for each field should be customizable and be different than what the fields' descriptions are within the editor interface. Again, fully customizable for the public forms. And then when we send it, they should populate directly into the supertag, and then we can run on-add commands and stuff to them to automate other processes.
