  • SurveyJS - Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • siyuan

    A privacy-first, self-hosted, fully open source personal knowledge management software, written in typescript and golang.

  • Here's a plug for SiYuan (I'm not affiliated with at all and I'm still using Obsidian): It's like Logseq but much more performant: 100% local, FOSS, block-based, PDF support, etc. You can write long form or in bullet point freely. The downside is it's not markdown but in plain text JSON. The other side of the coin is that much for easier to do "basic" thing such as merging table cells, fully WYSIWYG, etc. Another major downside is very barebone English documentation.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc.
