  • 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
  • vercel

    Develop. Preview. Ship.

  • Vercel allows you to easily deploy Next.JS applications. From what I understand, they automatically separate your application into different parts and use appropriate AWS services to optimize how your application is hosted. For me, this solves the scalability concern.

  • Tailwind CSS

    A utility-first CSS framework for rapid UI development.

  • A Next.JS application can allow the user to layout their website using components you provide. When they save their changes, your application can iterate through the components, and save them (along with their styles, props, index, etc) to a database in any format you find convenient (JSON most likely). Using something like Tailwind for styling can make things much easier as well.

  • 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.
