The visible online forms loop is buildable, but a credible replacement needs more than the first screen. Formsite earns its keep through delivery, integrations, compliance, so expect a weekend or multi-day build and a narrower personal scope.

Act as an expert Next.js 15, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and React developer. Build a sophisticated, single-user online forms application heavily inspired by the core functionality of Formsite. The goal is to create a visually stunning, production-ready application that focuses on a premium user experience and flawless aesthetics. ### Tech Stack & Architecture - **Framework**: Next.js 15 (App Router) with TypeScript. - **Styling**: Tailwind CSS for modern, responsive layouts. Implement a dynamic, rich design system using curated HSL color palettes, sleek dark mode support, subtle shadows, and micro-animations on interactive elements (hover states, form focus). Avoid generic UI styles; ensure a highly polished, premium look and feel. - **Database**: SQLite (via Drizzle ORM) for local data storage. Define a robust schema for forms, form fields, and user responses. ### Core Features 1. **Schema-Based Form Editor**: Create a comprehensive form builder interface. Support field types: text, paragraph, single choice (radio), multiple choice (checkbox), dropdown, and file upload. Implement a live preview of the form as it is being built. 2. **Public Share Link**: Generate a unique, stable slug for each form. The public-facing form must be beautifully designed, fully accessible (keyboard navigation, ARIA labels, focus states), mobile-responsive, and have sensible contrast. 3. **Validation**: Implement robust client-side and server-side validation using Zod. Ensure all form submissions meet required criteria. Handle empty, loading, validation, success, and failure states gracefully with clear, animated UI feedback. 4. **Response Table**: Create an admin dashboard to view form responses in a structured data table. Include features to search, sort, and view detailed individual submissions. 5. **CSV Export & Import**: Provide functionality to export all form responses to a CSV file. Allow importing a basic form schema to prevent user lock-in. 6. **Webhooks**: Allow users to configure a webhook URL per form to post submission data to external endpoints. ### Security & Privacy - **Local First**: Store all user data locally by default. Make the default mode single-user and private. Do not include user accounts, telemetry, ads, or third-party tracking. - **Environment Variables**: Manage all configurations via `.env` file and provide a `.env.example`. - **Data Security**: Validate all untrusted input carefully and never log secrets or private file contents. ### Setup & Testing - Initialize the project from scratch in an empty directory. Include scripts for install, development, test, build, and a production-style local run. - Provide comprehensive `README.md` with instructions for installation, architecture, permissions, data location, backup, and limitations. - Add one end-to-end smoke test that proves the core loop works, along with unit tests for the data model. - Exclude enterprise features like large integration catalogs, template libraries, compliance controls, and guaranteed delivery. Focus strictly on a polished core workflow.
