| We're targeting a pretty specific market that I don't want to mention, but it is an industry that uses alot of forms. For us, there wasn't a very high barrier to MVP. We went from initial concept to MVP in about 2 weeks using some of the ideas around superfast development I outlined in this talk [0]. Where the rabbithole came in is once we put out the MVP, we were bombarded with feature requests for things that were beyond simply an easier way to fill out forms (this is where alot of the CRM functionality came in). We haven't reached out to anyone in government or K-12. We'd like to build our forms framework and keep it in this little niche market we've discovered and then start reaching out to other markets. Our forms application has been very hard to build as well, but I think we are one major re-factor away from having a good platform. I'm thinking at the end of the day we are going to get something that looks like a cross between Redmine's CRM functionality and Drupal's modularity/observer pattern-ness/business logic in the database-ness. What are you guys writing FormBig in? I'd be interested in collaborating on a set of open-source HTML5 form controls with you guys if that's something that you're finding a need for. It could address some of the things that I've found lacking in the standard HTML forms (such as the support for an other field and dynamic switching of sub-forms). I'm probably going to end up writing this library anyway, but it would be good PR for both of us :) [0] http://www.slideshare.net/LeeGillentine/superfast-developmen... |
