Local development setup from the project’s getting-started guide. Requires PostgreSQL and a GitHub OAuth app; then open localhost:3000, sign in and publish a form.

What it does

Define a form as a schema, publish an immutable version, and collect responses through a hosted page, an embedded iframe or the public API. Every webhook delivery is signed and recorded with its attempts and errors, so you can see what happened to each response. Data stays in your PostgreSQL database.

Who it is for

  • Teams that want forms on their own infrastructure instead of a SaaS form builder.
  • Developers who need reliable webhook delivery with retries and diagnostics.

Limitations

  • Not a hosted SaaS: you operate PostgreSQL, the web app and the background-job server.
  • Sign-in uses GitHub, Google or GitLab OAuth; there are no email and password accounts.
  • Unfinished responses are not collected, and workspace packages are not published to npm.

Typical uses

Collect sign-ups on your site

Embed a published form with automatic height, or post to the idempotent submission API from your own frontend.

Feed another system

Each response goes to a signed webhook through a transactional outbox with automatic retries and manual recovery.

Close intake on time

Pause a form, set a closing time or an acceptance limit, and show a custom closed message.

SHA256SUMS lists SHA-256 hashes for the release files. A matching hash shows that your file is identical to the one uploaded with the release. It is a checksum, not a signature from the author: it does not prove who built the file.

First run

  1. Install Node.js (22.22.2+, 24.15.0+ or 26+), pnpm 12.10.1 and PostgreSQL, and create a GitHub OAuth app.

  2. Clone the repository, configure apps/web/.env, run the migrations and start the app:

    pnpm install
pnpm db:migrate
pnpm dev

  3. Start the local background-job server in another terminal:

    npx --ignore-scripts=false inngest-cli@latest dev -u http://localhost:3000/api/inngest

  4. Open localhost:3000, create a form, publish it and submit a test response.
