Interesting, it's definitely a competitor to SharePoint if coupled with other services. There is just something about the graphics that makes me feel it's dated unfortunately. And apparently vulnerable to Heartbleed.
This looks handy, I might use this as a part of a super-side project to get my 73yo relative to stop creating exams using MS Word. (Years and years of exams/tests, locked up inside zillions of MS Word files!)
Looks good. I love the concept.
I have couple of questions:
Is it possible to create lookup tables which then can be used in the form for data input? For e.g. Contacts: that get populated from my address book table? etc ...
Congratulations! This is the best implementation of narrative form builder I have seen. And, it is admirable that you are releasing the code for your service with Apache license.
We (JotForm) tried to do one on an internal hackathon ( http://www.jotform.com/narrative-forms/ ) but it didn't work really well and we didn't receive much excitement from our users about it. So, we didn't develop it further. But, I've always found narrative forms amazing. I wonder why more sites are not using it.
Is there some functionality to save and resume later (from end-customer perspective)? Would be nice if I could give out unique URLs to a form, which then autosave anything entered there.
it is our early release of the product (More focus was on the functionality). We will improve look and feel (such as icons, theme, etc) in general in our next iteration.

Can this handle nested conditional forms?

Also is there a workflow process in the pipeline?
Good work!
If one can write "form rules" in JavaScript or like InfoPath in a graphical rule language, that would be awesome.
