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

    The Modern Data Stack 🐰 — Directus is an instant REST+GraphQL API and intuitive no-code data collaboration app for any SQL database.

  • payload

    The best way to build a modern backend + admin UI. No black magic, all TypeScript, and fully open-source, Payload is both an app framework and a headless CMS.

  • Payload CMS for sure: https://payloadcms.com/

    But be careful: once you tried it, you won't want to use anything else anymore.

    Gives you both a REST API, as well as a GraphQL API automatically. Admin UI is written in React as well and is customizable, super clean & distraction-free. Everything is extendable with Typescript.

    I, personally, went from WordPress => Strapi => Directus and have now settled with Payload, which I greatly prefer, as it's the only one which hasn't caused any roadblocks and lets me do whatever I want and need.

  • 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.
