Tell HN: My open-source form builder has reached ~7k registered users

Project is: https://forms.mdThat's the post really. It recently reached ~7k registered users, and it's feels amazing. I built the project before the AI boom, and it's "hand-written". Revenue is small, but it doesn't really matter.I'm trying to monetize the WordPress plugin, which is more of a product: https://wp.forms.md

I find that extremely hard to believe given that South of Midnight peaked on Steam with only 1.5k players.

Let's be honest here.

Tell HN: I want to build an open-source Trello that's free, and a joy to use

Hey HN, one of my favorite hobby is building good open-source software that's actually well-designed, looks good, and is a joy to use. So far, I've built https://www.gethalfmoon.com (Bootstrap alternative), and https://forms.md (Typeform clone).I'm also a fan of software that's done, or completed. Software doesn't have to constantly update and add useless bullshit. Most of the time, less is...

Exactly like string theory.
Wow, a paper said this so it must be true. What is the point of research like this that can never be tested? Genuinely curious. Shouldn't we find non-Earth lifeforms FIRST before even trying to make these conclusions?

This is quite possibly a horrible idea. Personal anecdote: ChatGPT once read a blood work report value as 40, when the actual report said 4.

I'm building an open-source Typeform-alternative: https://forms.md. Also trying to monetize it via a WordPress plugin: https://wp.forms.md
Nice! Feel free to reach out, my email is on my profile.
I don't really do anything tbh, I made a few posts on Reddit, and mostly on HN. Totally organic, no upvote farming/bots, kept it 100% honest for my peace of mind.
Thank you. I agree, the credibility and growth has been very gratifying, definitely more so than the revenue.

Thank you

Tell HN: My open-source project hit 5k registered users

Hey HN, a little over a year ago, I launched https://forms.md, a free, open-source Typeform alternative/form builder. It hit 5,000 registered users today, Alhamdulillah.Revenue is minuscule, but I haven't properly monetized it at all (yet?). Either way, very happy with it how things turned out so far.

Awful take in my humble opinion. Outsourced, vibe-coders as a concept is beyond scary.

Is this SOC2 compliant?

There's a shocking amount of overlap between AI & Crypto/NFT bros:

I'm sorry, I know you mean well, but your comment reads like a typical boomer parody.
I like it, but it should just be visual. It jacks my default scrollpad/mouse behavior, which is the annoying part.
It's expected to counter this meme: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/csy5RHcXT6Y
