Description
Hey HN, Björn here from FormGrid. I feel like the web got very sanitized and template-y lately, so I made a tool that lets you create forms and microsites with a bit more personality.The result can look like pretty much anything, for example:- CLI: https://share.formgrid.com/templates/sgNeeDu1AUYn2S5d- Pixel art: https://share.formgrid.com/templates/TVsBQkwkg4fx3OW0- GeoCities: https://share.formgrid.com/templates/TZzJNLkfJqR72N95- HN: https://share.formgrid.com/templates/QxO3deyBTnDBI8MWI created these examples myself, but it can also generate a completely custom form (content + theme + logic) based on a prompt.The editor works like writing a document, with markdown and slash commands. The layout is block-based and flexible. Logic blocks are also added inline.I use React for rendering, Vite as the build tool (builds a SPA), ProseMirror for the form editor, and MobX for state management.It's free, no account/signup required. Questions, feedback - all welcome!
