I run a Typeform alternative which is free for unlimited responses (and only costs $29/month for some advanced features).

We have 18k+ users and are getting average 50-60 signups daily since last 6 months but many felt lazy to recreate their Typeform to Youform.

So I created a tool which converts Youform to Typeform in just a one click and added it on my landing page. It requires no signups or connecting to Typeform.

In just a week more than 100 Typeforms has been converted. Moreover, posting the tool demo on LinkedIn and X gave me more than 30,000 impressions.

Created the tool in a day with the help of Claude and Cursor and lots of hit-and-trial. Still don't think it covers 100% user cases but I am constantly improving it.

Pretty good! I would say start showing something interactive from the beginning so that the viewer doesn't loose interest thinking it's just a normal video. I was about to leave but then saw it's interactive.

I agree. That's the reason I declined several acquisition offers (one of thm was was giving me 6 times more than what I was getting in my previous job, and will probably make in not sooner than next 2 years if Youform continues to grow at this pace). The reason is same that I am loving building this every single day (at least for now).

Thank you! Yes I am doing the same. Using a feature request board to collect users' feedbacks and shipping the features which gets most votes.
