Basic forms are easy, but Jotform's broad widget library, payments, approvals, PDF generation, tables, apps, and compliance options create a large surface.

Act as an expert Next.js 15, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and React developer. Build a sophisticated, single-user form builder application heavily inspired by the core functionality of Jotform. 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. Admin UI bound to localhost, and public forms exposed at `/f/<slug>`. - **Styling**: Tailwind CSS for modern, responsive layouts. Implement a dynamic, rich design system using curated HSL color palettes, glassmorphism effects, smooth gradients, and micro-animations on interactive elements. Avoid generic UI styles; ensure a highly polished, premium look and feel. - **Database**: SQLite (via `better-sqlite3` or Drizzle ORM) for local data storage. Store form definitions as JSON. - **Email**: Nodemailer or similar for sending SMTP emails. ### Core Features 1. **Form Builder (Admin UI)**: Create an intuitive form builder interface on localhost. Support field types: text, email, textarea, select, checkbox, date, and file upload (files to an `uploads/` folder, 10 MB cap). The field types above are the whole palette. 2. **Public Forms**: Publish forms at `/f/<slug>` accessible to anyone with the link. The public-facing form must be beautifully designed, fully accessible, mobile-responsive, and feature smooth transitions. 3. **Validation & Spam Prevention**: Implement robust server-side required-field and email-format validation. Include a per-form thank-you message, a honeypot field, and a per-IP rate limit to keep bot spam out. Handle loading, validation, success, and failure states gracefully with animated UI feedback. 4. **Response Management**: Store every submission with a timestamp and form version in SQLite. Create an admin table view per form with functionality to export all responses to CSV. 5. **Notifications**: Email the admin a plain-text summary of each submission via SMTP (credentials stored securely in `.env`). ### Security & Privacy - **Local First**: Keep the admin interface completely private (bound to localhost). Only public form pages are exposed. No user accounts, no telemetry. - **Environment Variables**: Manage all configurations via `.env` file and provide a `.env.example`. ### Setup & Testing - Initialize the project from scratch in an empty repository. - Provide comprehensive `README.md` with instructions on how to put the public side behind a reverse proxy, where uploads live, and how to run the app locally. - Exclude complex features like payment collection, PDF generation, complex approval workflows, and an extensive widget catalog. Focus solely on the core form building and submission workflow with extreme polish.
