A simple JavaScript based form builder. Currently it has no backend, just generates form structure in JSON.

Any feedback is welcomed.

Thanks.

Very nice... how long have you been working on it?

I'm actually in the process of building an open source backend for a robust form builder as a package for the fuelPHP framework. Not sure if you have any interest in collaborating, but I was planning on building a similar js frontend for it, including mirrored client/server side validation and custom callbacks but with backbone.js ...

Shoot me an email if you're interested at all.

Cool. Does it do validation? I tried creating a number field and entering text but I got no warning.
Currently it does not. Indeed this tool is intended for building forms. Displaying a form and getting data from users should be handled in custom code. Nevertheless I also plan to develop a form runner app to show the designed forms to users.
Nicely done. Thanks a lot.
what licence is this under?
