Verdict

Core CRUD (define fields, render a public form, store responses) is a weekend build; the gap is polish, not structure.

Core job

Build a form, share a link, collect and view responses.

DIY replacement scope

A form schema editor, a public submission page, and a responses table.

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • SQLite or similar for responses

Technical dependencies

  • form rendering
  • database for responses

What you lose

Moat

Why people still pay

Integrations (Zapier, Slack, Sheets) and a polished conditional-logic builder are real time savers.

Build prompt

Build me a self-hosted form builder (fictional example — development fixture, not researched). Requirements:

- Node.js + SQLite. A form is a JSON schema: ordered list of fields (text,
  number, single-select, multi-select, textarea).
- An admin page to add/reorder/delete fields and copy the public form URL.
- A public /f/<id> page rendering the form and posting responses to SQLite.
- A /f/<id>/responses page (basic auth via a single env-var token) listing
  submissions as a table with CSV export.
- Out of scope: conditional logic, third-party integrations, spam filtering.
- README: how to create a form and how the CSV export works.

Recommended stack: Node.js, SQLite
