beanclap··on Show HN: Typeform was too expensive so I built my own forms
formbricks is awesome, best open source surveys out there! :))
beanclap··on Self-hosting forms, the sane way
Formbricks can do what Formspree does but open source see here: https://formbricks.com/vs-formspree
beanclap··on Show HN: I just made my profitable online form builder open-sourced
formbricks does have single use survey links, here are the docs for it:

beanclap··on Automated UI Testing in Unity with GPT-4
its off topic but you could consider using formbricks instead of Typeform: it's free, open source and has animated backgrounds :P
beanclap··on BlockSurvey-Web3 alternative to Typeform and surveymonkey
is it self-hostable or what do you mean with "own your data"?
beanclap··on Show HN: Formbricks – Open-source alternative to Typeform and Sprig
form.io is more focussed on letting companies build form applications quicker. It's not a survey tool per se :)
beanclap··on Show HN: Formbricks – Open-source alternative to Typeform and Sprig
cool idea, will chat with our designer :)
beanclap··on Show HN: Formbricks – Open-source alternative to Typeform and Sprig
looks cool! But you’re doing a lot of things at the same time, why Typeform AND sprig?
beanclap··on Show HN: Papermark – the open-source DocSend alternative with custom domains
why is this needed?
beanclap··on GitHub Accelerator: our first cohort and what’s next
I agree! At the same time its cool that they also picked a few proven projects like Nuxt or tRPC. Good mix :)
beanclap··on GitHub Accelerator: our first cohort and what’s next
super cool congrats :)

beanclap··on PostHog but for Qualitative Data?
Hoi!

What if engineers could build qualitative feedback into products right from the start?

In our experience, this often gets neglected because all dev attention goes to building the actual product. And yet, no one would launch a product without usage analytics because its insightful and really easy to implement.

How would a solution for qualitative data look like?

Formbricks aims to:

- fill the gaps between usage analytics and 1:1 interviews - keep dev attention at a minimum when leveraging best practices to gather qualitative data (Superhuman PMF, in-app interview prompts, onboarding & churn surveys, etc.) - build one user profile from waitlist -> paying customer (like early user CRM)

It's different from micro-survey tools because:

- doesn't clutter UI (natively embeddable in user flows) - specific analysis (e.g. for PMF survey) vs. generic visualisation of data - open source (self-hostable, freely customizable, embedabble)

The ask: Please poke holes in it :)

Happy sundays!

beanclap··on Ask HN: How) Do You Measure Product Market Fit?
thanks for sharing, keen to read the other stories as well!
beanclap··on Ask HN: How) Do You Measure Product Market Fit?
Thanks for the link!

My key question is: Do you measure it to be able to optimize it?

beanclap··on Show HN: New React Lib to build forms superfast
hey HN!

We made a React Lib to make coding forms and surveys in React really fast and easy.

It comes with lots of prebuilt components for questions types and native Tailwind support.

We're adding non-standard types like star-rating, NPS, Slider, toggle out of the box.

We're also working on multi-step, form logic, internationalisation, accessibility and more.

Would love your feedback on the developer experience!

beanclap··on Show HN: SnoopForms – Open-Source Typeform Alternative
We are not A/B testing the video, I just thought it was funny.
beanclap··on Show HN: SnoopForms – Open-Source Typeform Alternative
yes you got the right idea, I simply wasn't sure if my certainly questionable humor is considered "political".

We took it out, I guess the less edge you offer these days the better off you are :)

beanclap··on Show HN: SnoopForms – Open-Source Typeform Alternative
Oh really? It would be super valuable to talk to you about what you built and why. Please shoot me a message at hola@snoopforms.com or in the Discord - I'll try to reach you via Codeday.org as well :)
beanclap··on Show HN: SnoopForms – Open-Source Typeform Alternative
that would be cool! Actually, it's fairly easy to integrate as there are existing tools we can use. I'll add it to the feature requests, good idea :)
beanclap··on Show HN: SnoopForms – Open-Source Typeform Alternative
cool, I'll think about the UX confusion and see if I can come up with a fix. Thanks! :)
beanclap··on Show HN: SnoopForms – Open-Source Typeform Alternative
You are absolutely right and we are aware of this as we calculated it through.

Pricing an OS project isn't easy and we will introduce scaled prices per submission e.g. 500-2.000 -> 0,02$, 2.000-10.000 -> 0,01$ and > 10.000 -> 0,005$ or so.

We just didnt want to make it too complicated early on.

beanclap··on Show HN: SnoopForms – Open-Source Typeform Alternative
thanks! :) Correct, we see the appeal from the Typeform UX but actually see snoop as more than a tool to create beautiful forms. Data collection is just the entry point.
beanclap··on Show HN: SnoopForms – Open-Source Typeform Alternative
So ideally, we have:

- free plan no CC needed (e.g. 100 submissions) - extended free plan with CC (e.g. 500 submissions) - paid plan with cost control (e.g. don't spend more than 25$)

Would that alleviate your doubts?

beanclap··on Show HN: SnoopForms – Open-Source Typeform Alternative
forms.com :D
beanclap··on Show HN: SnoopForms – Open-Source Typeform Alternative
that was the idea, great to hear it resonates!
beanclap··on Show HN: SnoopForms – Open-Source Typeform Alternative
what do you mean? Elon?
beanclap··on Show HN: SnoopForms – Open-Source Typeform Alternative
fair point, we'll consider
