Good point! We already have an open pull request to have the "time to complete" calculated and displayed at the beginning of the survey. https://github.com/formbricks/formbricks/pull/1461

Another idea would be to let the survey creator know the current length/time to complete the survey, and if it's getting too long, show them advice on how to make it shorter, and show them that they will lose participants otherwise.

Having a reverse countdown is valuable too.

3-2-1 steps to go is more engaging than step 1-2-3.

Same goes for a progress bar that says the percent remaining instead of the percent complete.

Would be awesome to be able to customize this in a way that looks natural.

Happy to chat off line.

I will also see if I can check out the repo to see if contributions are a possibility from my end :)
