We have been working on this open source survey toolbox for more than a solid year. We started as a pure open source alternative to Typeform to allow anyone to run surveys, learn more about their users and control the data and infrastructure.<p>Over time, more and more of our users wanted to survey their users inside their software product and get a much higher conversion rate by asking short and highly targeted questions to better understand their users and improve their product. To help them, we have rebuilt Formbricks from the ground up to support both in-app surveys and link surveys - all open source and easy to self-hosted.<p>We would love to hear your feedback and see how we can help you better understand your users.

This is a very nice project&#x2F;product. Congrats.<p>May I suggest having some premium themes in the paid plan as an incentive to upgrade?<p>Please do keep the option to build a customised theme in the self-hosted version, though. Some people might even want to contribute back to the project because of that.

I’m curious if there is a way to build forms on the fly in response to user responses?<p>I want to create a chat interface but instead of doing that from scratch, can a form builder become a starting point?<p>The way I understand it, a form consists of a series of fixed questions. What if the questions were dynamic but restricted to short answer type? This would make creation of chat interfaces so simple and beautiful.

Been looking for an open-source survey alternative tool for a long-time!

Looks great. Was a big fan of Typeform in the early days.<p>I’m trying it on my iPhone SE 2022 and get this message:<p>Formbricks is not available for devices with smaller resolutions.

One of the best open-source form services I have ever used is Typebot (1). The way it works and how users interact is awesome, I&#x27;ve been told many times that my forms are awesome. I am not in any way affiliated to this project, but I think it deserves some attention!<p>(1): <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;typebot.io" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;typebot.io</a>

Does this work without javascript?<p>I know folks that are very privacy conscious that are used to and hate cookie popups and will treat formbricks as just another cookie popup and will adblock, download a blocklist, or use a PiHole to remove intrusive popups automatically.

Most of the time, survey forms can be boring and monotonous. Apart from making an awesome product that works smoothly, do you also plan to have a design strategy to make your surveys stand out?

So good - I&#x27;ve been watching Formbricks grow since May&#x2F;June and it&#x27;s really impressive! A LOT of bonus points since it&#x27;s open source.<p>When is the Flutter support?

Looks coool! Had a doubt though, can this be deployed on a public website and can I user user targeting in it?

Congrats on the launch!<p>Question:<p>* How do you see open-source being an advantage for Formbricks when competing with other tools in the market?

looks cool! But you’re doing a lot of things at the same time, why Typeform AND sprig?
