Open-source form builder born from `Typeform` cost pain

A custom agency form allegedly doubled submissions and inquiry calls. The signal is clear: prettier, cheaper forms still have room if analytics and AI setup reduce ops work.

[ KEY POINTS ]
  1. Typeform got expensive as submissions grew; Google Forms felt too blocky for a client-facing agency site.
  2. The replacement form almost doubled submissions and inquiry calls, turning a cost-cutting fix into a product wedge.
  3. AI form generation uses Vercel AI SDK; analytics chat lets users query form data without building dashboards.
  4. Open-source positioning lowers adoption friction, but the market is crowded unless templates, embeds, and conversion proof are strong.
