It’s a drag and drop form builder that saves as JSON schema. You can export and use in your own app, or submit to our backend and send Webhooks to an automation service like zapier.
I use it in my client projects since I frequently need to customize form fields, then I can reuse them across clients.
Bring your own components too.
I noticed that while I create custom rails apps for clients, they often want to create additional forms and still leverage the authentication, permissions, and existing data in the app. This rules out most 3rd party form builders like typeform, jotform etc. which are mostly for surveys anyway. Sometimes the dev time to create them(UI, DB migrations, testing, validations) is too costly for an idea they just want to test.
So, I use the builder to create a JSON Schema, then embed the form into the rails app. What's cool is that I can utilize permissions from the core app to disable certain fields, and I can pass in enum values so drop downs have up-to-date options pulled right from the DB.
We use react-jsonschema-form, but the jsonschema we produce could be used in any of the tools mentioned in this thread.
I'm close to opening this up to other devs soon, and would love your feedback. There's a signup form on the website if you're interested.

I track usage metrics every day and routinely message power users to ask what may be keeping others from adopting, asking non-users if they've been trained, and asking execs if they have evangelized from the top down.
So, you have to hit everyone over a long period of time.
