I created this tool to make it easy to create Bootstrap Form HTML. Drag and drop form fields, preview the results, or copy the HTML code. It is built using Django and crispy forms. The forms you create can (but don't have to) be processed using my start-up's form processing service (in free beta).

I'd love to get some feedback!

font chooser is broken on latest stable chrome on OS X. I actually made something similar to this a few years ago before jotforms got huge, and mine never really took off, so if you could find your niche then that'd be great!

One thing, this is kind of confusing:

Use the form builder below, or POST your own form to https://formden.com/post/abc123/ and add formden.js to your webpage.

Do I need to set up the action of the form to POST to your server AND include the javascript?

Thanks for the feedback. Will look into the font chooser. EDIT: Font chooser should be working now.

Yes, to have us process the form you need to POST to our server and add the formden.js to the page. The JavaScript is there to repopulate the form and show validation errors if the POST is rejected.
