Formizee

Formizee is an open-source web app and server that provides a comprehensive platform for designing, building, and analyzing web forms through a unified interface. The software allows users to create data collection tools and track responses without relying on proprietary closed-source ecosystems.

The software is deployed as a web application and server. It utilizes a serverless architecture to handle form creation and data collection, allowing users to manage their forms and view submission analytics via a central dashboard. The system is designed to be fast and reliable, moving away from legacy server configurations in favor of modern web technologies and edge computing.
