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.
This resonates with me 100%. Every bit of unhappiness I've felt in my career so far has been caused by a bad manager. The main issue for me has been the final point you mentioned about "Imposed artificial limitations" - I cannot tell you the number of times that I've been forced to use an inefficient tool or do something in a sub-optimal or downright incorrect way (knowing that it would have to be re-written later) by a bad manager... In some companies, it was a daily occurrence; that's why I never stayed at a single company for longer than 2 years. It's almost impossible to find a company that lets me implement things correctly.
Thankfully, nobody could constrain me in my open source work. I (with the help of community members) built:
- SocketCluster (https://socketcluster.io/): A distributed pub/sub framework.
- Capitalisk (https://capitalisk.com/): A lightweight quantum-resistant blockchain which is less than 5K lines of code.
- LDEX (https://ldex.trading/): A deterministic decentralized exchange (DEX) which can work with many different blockchain protocols. It's less than 4K lines of code in total and only has 3 small third-party dependencies (including sub-dependencies).
