Founder here. Formester creates forms and surveys for you and collects the data in the most seamless way possible. We've made it truly free with unlimited forms and submissions on all plans, including free.

With time we realised that 99% of people generally don't use a lot of their quota, but it stays as a mental barrier on them, and they end up using another product even when they liked what we offered.

This also helps us reach more people with the branding on the free version, so it's a win-win for everyone.

If you need team collaboration, real time multi person form filling, or auto generated PDFs, that's when you'd move to a higher plan.

We'll be monitoring this for any kind of abuse and spam, and it would be nice to know anything else we should watch out for.

I agree to this though it also depends on the nature of project.

Had a project idea which I coded with the help of AI and it became quite large to a point I was starting to have uncharted areas in the code. Mostly because I reviewed it too shallow or moved fast.

It was a good thing as that project never floated but if I were to do such a thing on my breadwinning project I would lose the joy.

Yes we have thought about that and we have multiple solutions to that.

- webbhook triggered - when a document is updated some CMS/tool provide webhooks triggering capability, which you can use to reindex that page - time based triggers - you can set a time like a cron and the document will be scanned in that time and checked if something has changed it will be reindexed

Happy to answer more questions.

I'm building an AI for Customer Support.

Here's the summary: - read all your sources - public websites, docs, video - answer questions with confidence score and no hallucinations with citations - cut support time and even integrates directly into your customer facing chatbots like Intercom.

Still deliberating on the business model. If anyone would be interested in taking a look, I would love to show you.

You are already ahead of so many of us.

The addiction to just not be free and do something is so stupid yet we are used to it.

I have seen myself keep the phone down from boredom only to pick it up a few seconds later.

I have some techniques that I use for coping. I also have ADHD so there are other overlapping challenges too.

Though I was not sure about sharing them and more importantly I still have to clearly identify them and list them out to be able to share.

It would be a good exercise and I will try to do that. Thanks for the idea.

Yes it indeed was the question asked by the Therapist and that made me realize I've not been asking that often to myself. The question made me think and made me feel uncomfortable.

So now whenever I am in a tricky situtation, I ask myself that question. It gives me more understanding of my feeling.

And once I've more grasp on it, I can tackle it better.

I self host this and probably the best looking and working file sharing app. Works well for me as the files are ephemeral and the upload is protected by cloudflare access.
