The live site resides at http://jkariukidev.herokuapp.com and the code base is on this repository. I have worked on a documentation to get you going by and it is still being improved.

  • 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. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  • Express

    Fast, unopinionated, minimalist web framework for node.
