Show HN: FormGrid – Forms that can look like CLIs, pixel art, GeoCities and more

https://www.formgrid.com/
3•bjoernm•55m ago
Hey HN, Björn here from FormGrid. I feel like the web got very sanitized and template-y lately, so I made a tool that lets you create forms and microsites with a bit more personality.

The result can look like pretty much anything, for example:

- CLI: https://share.formgrid.com/templates/sgNeeDu1AUYn2S5d

- Pixel art: https://share.formgrid.com/templates/TVsBQkwkg4fx3OW0

- GeoCities: https://share.formgrid.com/templates/TZzJNLkfJqR72N95

- HN: https://share.formgrid.com/templates/QxO3deyBTnDBI8MW

I created these examples myself, but it can also generate a completely custom form (content + theme + logic) based on a prompt.

The editor works like writing a document, with markdown and slash commands. The layout is block-based and flexible. Logic blocks are also added inline.

I use React for rendering, Vite as the build tool (builds a SPA), ProseMirror for the form editor, and MobX for state management.

It's free, no account/signup required. Questions, feedback - all welcome!

I love weird web stuff! These forms are really fun. I do think both have their place. Sometimes I just want it to get out of the way without too much cognitive overload, and looking visually boring and predictable can be a good thing here. But I can imagine it being great for more community/event/creator-type stuff.

I agree. I'm not anti-clean design, it has its place. Is just miss there being more range, especially when it comes to personal projects.
