Show HN: Got fired from a YC-backed startup and built a no-code tool (not AI)
Hi HN,
My name is Bohdan, and I’m the creator of Fomr (https://fomr.io), a no-code drag-and-drop form builder.
I know what you are thinking: “Urghh, another one…” – but hear me out!
After 2 years as the first employee at a YC-backed startup, I found myself suddenly free to build something I’d been thinking about for a while. During my time there, we struggled surprisingly hard to find a modern, reliable form builder that met our needs.
So, after leaving, I’ve decided to spend the next 5 months building a tool in a highly saturated, competitive, and boring market.
What makes Fomr interesting is its tech. I’ve used a local-first approach with a sync engine (Powersync) so that the form editor feels extremely fast and snappy, even though it’s built for the web.
Try it here: https://fomr.io/app/guest/new (desktop only, there’s no sign-up)
Quick demo video: https://fomr.io or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0enRJcqb3U
While it’s early days, I’m committed to making Fomr the fastest, the simplest, and the most flexible form builder available.
Tell me why it’ll fail (so I can try to avoid that).
Thanks!
