I should have written this post sooner.
So I wanted to make an amazing form builder. I had some keywords in my mind: drag and drop UI, lightning-fast adding of fields, gorgeous CSS, AJAX-powered, custom-made fields etc …
I was on a long journey, so I made a MVP first. But I still wasn’t sure, so I made a MVP of a MVP. I released the MVP of the MVP on CodeCanyon, the largest WordPress marketplace. People liked it. Then, after 5 – 6 months, I released the MVP (FormCraft). Here is the link:
The response has been pretty good till now. Within a month, it’s one of the top 20 selling plugins on the marketplace. I haven’t done any marketing, organic or paid. I posted this on Hacker News the day after launch. Unexpectedly, within 10 mins, it was on the front page! Unfortunately, I was on shared hosting. And shared hosting can’t support something that is on the front page of HN 😀
I would love to have some feedback from fellow Rodinhooders! Do aesthetics matter? If you are using some other form builders / managers, would you mind using something like FormCraft? If not, what is lacking?
My next step is to take FormCraft to the next step by implementing more features, and launching it as a hosted, cross-platform solution. Will it work?
EDIT
The online app can take some time. You can signup below to get early beta access 🙂
