Our kids' school has a sign up thingy for parents to volunteer to do something.
I like they aren't using form or spreadsheet for this, but I don't like that they're using a third party sign up platform that has lots of ads and even trying to upsell to sign up for some other events unrelated to the school.

It's free but at a cost of something else.

I imagine this problem is not unique to my kids' school. But how can we come up with a better school web infrastructure to support these things? 🙁
