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 project is a ton of fun, so wanted to share! Using Electron, React, Typescript, and sqlite, I built an open-source Desktop app that analyzes iMessages and curates a Spotify wrapped-like experience. You can download it here or check us out on github. Let me know if any qs. It’s entirely open-source and we do not store your data. The beauty of a Desktop app: the data never leaves your computer!
Under the hood, it’s reading your Mac’s chat.db file located at ~/Library/Messages. This is the same file your Apple iMessage app uses. We copy over that file and then run sqlite queries on it. The “frontend” (renderer process) is all React and uses chartjs2. The framework I went with is ERB: electron react boiler plate. I actually contributed to some of their docs and then met the maintainer of ERB IRL so that was really cool. Thanks for kind words! Feel free to contribute!
