Ask HN: Best OSS for custom form builder within multi-tenant SaaS application?
I am building a multi-tenant SaaS (CRM) for a small non-profit niche. Custom form building will be a critical piece for my customers. Forms will be used for e.g. event registrations, donations, volunteer coordination, food orders, seat assignments for fundraisers, accepting payment from credit cards/Venmo/ACH/etc. Admins for each tenant will be creating different sets of forms.

I wonder if I can avoid re-inventing the wheel, particularly with regard to an easy-to-use form building UI.

I have been looking at https://github.com/formio, but I wonder what other OSS is out there. Does anyone have experience with this question and/or recommendations?
What's disingenuous about the argument?

The point is that the writers actually got paid significantly more back when Suits was a relatively low-rated cable show than they do now even though it's a global success.

If it had aired on broadcast, the disparity would be even worse, since the residuals for broadcast shows are higher. And for a comparison for a broadcast TV show, the actors and writers of the Gilmore Girls had the same complaints about streaming residuals: they made several times as much back when the show was on the CW than for the Netflix season, even though the viewership of the single Netflix season was several times the combined total viewership of the show in its entire broadcast run.

> I can can practice explaining the solution in a way that helps me describe the solution to humans too.

That too. Also had some interesting results asking it to rephrase, structure and improve whatever description I’ve written for the process I’m documenting.

Especially when my description felt more like some rambling than some clear and precise unambiguous explanation.

Also a great way to generate, and more importantly keep up to date, short and concise overviews, for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
By the way, I loved that movable "toolbar menu" design. It seems to have been forgotten in the move to "modern" but think it was the best one so far.

You could put it inline with other toolbars so it didn't waste vertical space. The full menu was very discoverable, like a table of contents for a featureful app. It could even be hidden completely if wanted.

None of the newer designs—obliterate in favor of titlebar buttons, or hamburger, are a such a great combo of power and friendliness. The traditional permanent menu is not very flexible.
Do use hyperbole to dismiss my point in lieu of making an actual argument. That's fine.

what makes you think so? I didn't use nomad but looked into it recently. The github repo has multiple commits every day and there are new nomad videos on the hashicorp youtube channel every few weeks
A DCO is more about protecting the project from using code it shouldn't, in that the developer certifies the origin (of the code) is safe to use, by either being their own creation or that the code used has a compatible license.
A CLA need not come with copyright assignment, and projects which require copyright assignment need not have a CLA (for example: the FSF requires copyright assignment but does not have a CLA).

For my part, I have thousands of lines of code in Terraform for which I have never signed a CLA or copyright assignment. Nothing stops MPLv2-licensed files being used in a commercial source tree, provided the terms are compiled with.
The host directive also supports wildcards.

For example, add `host *_work ` and then some stiff that is the same for all work hosts like host1_work.
>How is Django more heavy than Flask?

Because it is, by far, much larger project? Django has 551k LoC in 31933 commits, Flask has 27k LoC in 5156 commits. Django philosophy is "be opinioated, and bundle everything necessary for developers". Flask philosophy is "do just one thing and just be a good HTTP server, let users pick a solution to all the other problems". Django is a full-blown framework, whereas flask is almost a library. Both approaches are OK, but from your previous message (GP) you prefer lightweight and magic-less frameworks (and Django relies on some conventions to do its magic).

>One thing that keeps me from investigating Flask further is that Django seems to be way more popular:

Both Django and Flask are way more popular that what you're doing (writing everyting yourself. By the way does it mean you write your own HTTP server too?), so I don't know why that stops you. Flask is not going anywhere.

>Me and other devs maintain this repo which shows how to get from a fresh Debian install to a running web app via different frameworks:

Interesting project, thanks for sharing! But that's a bit random - what was your intention when linking it? Also I can't help but notice that the flask example there has three third-party dependencies other than flask (flask-sqlalchemy, flask-login and wtforms). Since you like rolling your own solutions, maybe you would prefer Flask without such libraries? (I personally don't use flask-login and wtforms, and only sometimes use flask-sqlalchemy - I usually use standard sqlalchemy, my custom ORM, or just write SQL directly for simpler projects).

Valuation fundamentals don't justify current prices. That said it could easily go higher (much higher). Passive investing has created a constant bid that has significantly distorted price discovery compared to pre passive era.
That's what I meant! I thought it was clear, at least to me.
You’re actually 100% right about this, there’s a massive reproducibility crisis. But I don’t think it’s fair to put it on the same level as astrology haha
That was after several Barbie dolls. Great website.
There is a somewhat famous case in Germany, where an elderly couple's house got sold without them knowing, because someone changed the paper deed, and some scummy business man confirmed that he got the money in cash.

They better introduce systems like this in Germany too, but they rather drown in mafia related crime than admitting that their analog way of doing business and clinging on to cash is a mistake.

Regarding the drop in learning speed after school, I have a pet theory that primary and secondary education are less about teaching people specific details of educational topics, but rather giving them a wide range of meaningful vocabulary in their native language to talk about those topics and others. As soon as you enter the workforce or even a college education, your range of meaningful topics to discuss dramatically narrows as you focus on a specialty or profession.
Psychology is almost a literary field, but great works of literature have a lot of value. It gives the reader a mental model of human behaviour. Dostoyevsky, Shakespeare, etc. Psychology is similar, it's a series of examples in the form of prose, and methods of exploring issues with real people in the world. The goal is to understand and shape human thinking and behaviour. Pretty valuable if you ask me.
This makes me wonder, what if there's actually a narcissism crisis disguised as a mental health crisis?

I haven’t been diagnosed with EoE (and don’t think I have it) but I do think there is a connection between heart palpitations and the digestive system. I have SIBO and will sometimes get them from the trapped gas.

Some would consider this as Roemheld syndrome, which isn’t an official diagnosis but I see it as more of an explanation that your digestive system can cause these symptoms, rather than there being a problem with your heart.

I don’t have any thing else to offer you as I’m not as familiar with EoE but you could look through the related subreddit to see if others have suggestions. Wishing you the best!
This is absolutely spot on. It’s refreshing to see.
While a very very useful service that gives me a lot of peace of mind, the price increase is a bit of a bummer (but understandable) and also kind of makes me a teeny bit annoyed at the the fact that it’s unlimited.

Unlimited basically means I’m subsidizing people who are storing 50tb of content on their home machine, and also incentivizing people like me to store stupid shit because otherwise I’m wasting money. While it’s allowed under the rules, I’d rather pay less for a set storage limit that is priced sustainably than play the unlimited vacation policy type game.

Idk, some top of mind thoughts. Misty annoyed that everything in my life is getting expensive
Some people are just assholes. Pathologizing it with clinical terms doesn't help or change anything.
You're not putting anything like a 16MW wind turbine on a cargo ship. That thing is practically larger than the ship itself. Nor do wind turbines generate 16MW continuously. This is all just handwaving the fundamental problems away.

You're going to need chemical fuels to solve this problem. You really have to get to grips with basic physics here. Global warming can't be solved by science deniers.

PS: How are you going to battery swap on a ship? Nevermind the cost of such a thing. This is just another absurd idea stacked top of an already absurd idea.
Because it _is_ none of your business. But feel free to review the thread, there are plenty of examples why having large cash reserves and transaction may be helpful for a given situation.

The argument for reporting is equivalent to "you have nothing to hide" and privacy. This is another aspect of privacy.
Complete wild-ass guess: safe landing spots are hard to find, they knew X to be a larger region safe to land in (so small errors wouldn't matter), and didn't at the time have the more complex subsystem to find safe landing spots (!= X) on the fly based on where the lander happens to go.
why would a software dev have a portfolio? The comparison to design or writing doesn't make sense. A graphic designer can point to logos or marketing material that is publicly available. I'm not going to put proprietary code on a portfolio nor am I going to spend multiple years building some open source project when I already have a full time job.

Software engineering must be the only profession where employment history means nothing. And yet... interviewers always want salary history to knock you down. If you don't care about the work I did in the past, then why do you care about how much I was given for that work?
What ended up happened there? Has Pekko gained momentum? If so, it would be helpful to add it to a list of these: part of the problem is that moving to the B(U)SL is viewed as having no risk -- when it fact, it is risking everything (e.g., Sun/Oracle and Hudson/Jenkins).
> But no business wants to take a CS agent with an 85% accuracy/successful call record and replace it with an AI that's at 40-50%

I'm not so sure about that. Businesses generally had no problem outsourcing customer service to call centers even though doing that came with a very steep reduction in accuracy and successful resolutions. Those monetary savings are very tempting.
> I think ideally we would all live in modest, reasonably sized simple rectangular houses that are built to last, to be energy efficient, and which achieve low cost through standard designs.

In an ideal world yes, in the real world you'll get run out of town being called a "communist", or no one will buy the houses because actually built-to-last homes are waaay more expensive than the cheap drywall and wood stuff that one sees go up in the air with every tornado video.

That's the impression I've been getting. AI lowered the barrier to entry of just generating a large body of text and self-publishing, but there are more subtle market dynamics at play here than people seem to realize.

Above a certain threshold of talent, there is no need to negotiate at all.
It's not a threat. It's a descriptive claim about what the world is going to be like once this technology matures. In due time, most art will be the result of humans and AI. Unless content has some kind of label stating that AI was involved in its creation, you simply aren't going to notice. Sure, there will be a niche of people who obstinately refuse to use any tech that employs machine learning. And we will view those people the same way we view people who believe that taking a photo of someone steals their soul.
A bit unfair that title mate.

That's a single app in a million apps. Yes, there's poor and low standard apps in the market, but that can happen regardless of the underlying OS.

My only problem with Android is that Google doesn't allow to filter by country, I hate to see chinese clones while searching for something.

Other than that, it's the same across platforms, good and bad developers, good and bad UI/UX designs.
Sure, but they are vans or large SUVs. You have a lot less choice as you can't look at most cars, and they generally use more fuel.

Just going from 2 to 3 kids shocked me at the cost increase, and we already had a minivan (hotel rooms sleep 4, so now we have to get 2 rooms or a suite). There are a lot of other things that go up a lot more than you would expect when you have more than 2 kids. Kids eat free is normally each parent can have one free kid.

Overall kids are not very expensive, and I'm glad I have them. However there are a number of things we can't do anymore. Family memberships are well worth it for us since most of them are one price no matter how many kids you have, and thus cheap entertainment for the rest of the year.
> I find it ridiculous that we allow a private company to act as regulator over any sector of the economy, let alone one they have over 50% market share in.

If you feel that way then there are countries with economic models that don’t allow this. Venezuela comes to mind. Maybe you should relocate there so you can experience the outcome of heavy handed government control.

Sadly the days of "keep using the software" are mostly over. Between security updates and platforms frequently making backwards-incompatible changes you'll hit the wall eventually. The rest of the world has opted into the continous deathmarch treadmill and you're on it too whether you like it or not. We don't value stability, and we berate people for running software that's older than 4 months as positively geriatric and asking for any trouble they might have.

Want to keep running that old package? Cross an ubuntu versioning chasm and now you also need an ancient version of glibc which won't run on your Zany Zamboni fleet because your other requirement of libxml 5 won't work with it. Find a security problem? Well there's a newer version that's only been out for four minutes why aren't you on that already anyway? Oh we don't publish packages for your 4 week old npm yarn bower neonode, who still uses that?
How slow is this? I needed x86 windows for something just after I got my M1 MBP in 2021. So I installed a copy of windows 10. I don't recall which hypervisor I used, but it was super slow.

- Can't they just hire all of nvidia's developers and pay them 5x as much?

No.
My friend, I don't think it's the hair, it's likely your energy.

This anecdote for example:
> Very recently, I had a conversation with someone in my office, and it went great. The next day, I asked them for a coffee, they came, with their bowl of fruits. We stood in the lobby facing each other, and behind me was the coffee machine. I tell her - “Give me one second, I will just get my coffee”, and I turn around to get my coffee. When I have my coffee and turn back around to see her, all of which took less than 1 minute, she is gone, disappeared, poof!

It sounds like you're putting too much pressure on people. Would you have cared if it was a guy you were getting coffee with had to shoot off? I think you should talk to girls with no expectations, otherwise people get defensive
I prefer focus on objective behaviors in day to day life. I mostly encounter what I others seem to label "narcissism" (or some kind of dysfunction) in work life.

It seems there IS a small but significant percentage of people in day to day life that:

- Can't receive constructive feedback without exploding / taking it personally / feeling betrayed

- Simultaneously gives relatively harsh feedback, the type they would very much bristle at

- Does not do normal "relationship repair"/apologize when they make a mistake in a relationship, its 100% on the other person

There's an asymmetry in their relationships that, for whatever reason, the other side can be blinded to or accept. I think most folks are naturally trusting, and assume it must be a problem with THEM, so they work to please the (for lack of a better term) narcissist.

The good news is you can document and measure these things IMO. You just have to know not to assume you're the problem, which is probably is a healthy default with the 95% of non narcissist people out there.
Unfortunately, a big problem is getting offers in the first place. Very hard to be the last candidate standing, and that's by design. Very little practice equals poor performance.
Fair enough, though 1) given the flurry of related items it's arguably duplicate by topic and 2) FT given Archive.Today's CAPTCHA loops and other brokenness is effectively irreparably paywalled presently.
> I've literally seen the submitted plans for my house - there was absolutely no architect or engineer stamp on them.

Wouldn't fly here in Germany, or in Croatia - you need plans signed off by a licensed architect or structural engineer for anything residential.
>The free market might over time get us cleaner engines when interests align but in all honestly the biggest factor driving cleaner engines has always been regulation...

One scientist learned that smog was a result of automobile emissions as early as 1948 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arie_Jan_Haagen-Smit). That was 56 years after automobiles were first produced. Shortly thereafter, the Federal government started tackling the issue in 1955 (https://www.epa.gov/clean-air-act-overview/evolution-clean-a...). Why would companies invest in cleaner emissions if the government was going to make mandates that would throw a wrench in their investments? It has been better for them to wait and see what they have to do. They were never given the chance to self regulate.
> Linden was emphatic about how science requires a mechanism of action

I don't think this is correct. Science is based on empiricism. Of course we'd like to understand the mechanism of action, but it's not strictly required for scientific description of some aspect of reality. For example, Kepler's laws were derived from the observed paths of the planets — it was only later that these same laws could be explained with recourse to the theory of gravity.
When was that? Surely it must have been at least a decade before the GTX 970 "4GB" but maybe after all the driver cheating in the late 90s and early 2000s.

I no longer buy nvidia hardware but I do enjoy stock price getting higher. I just wish I had the sense to buy more, a lot more, stock when it was much cheaper. How does a chicken shit like me make big money :(
> The aftermarket trading is up over 8% as of right now, roughly $41 USD to approximately $513 a share. Insane.

8% is close to nothing in stocks. Biotech stocks go up and down more than that without earnings announcements.

> Anyone who is a lot more versed in company valuation methodology see this as being near peak value, or does Nvidia have a lot more room to run?

As long as fine-tuning, training or even using these models are inefficient and no other efficient alternatives to that without these GPUs, then Nvidia will remain unchallenged unless that changes.

EDIT: It is true like it or not AI bros. There are too many to list. For example, just yesterday:

Fulcrum Therapeutics, Inc. (FULC) 38% up.

China SXT Pharmaceuticals (CM:SXTC) down 25%.

Regencell Bioscience Holdings (RGC) 28% up.

NanoViricides (NNVC) up 20%.

Armata Pharmaceuticals (ARMP) down 23%.

As you go up the ladder of the sciences from physics to chemistry to biology and eventually to economics, sociology, psychology, anthropology, etc., things get harder, not easier. While often described as one of the so-called "hard sciences", physics is one of the easiest sciences. Physicists are able to make all sorts of simplifying assumptions and get away with it. Such is not the case for the so-called "soft sciences", which are by far the harder sciences.

If you have any suggestions of how to make fields like psychology any easier, I'm sure many would like to hear them.

See Herbert Simon and P.W. Anderson for more reading along these lines.
I just got fiber (finally!) yesterday. My side by side speedtest with viasat showed the satellite link ping times at 651 to 1143 ms.

by comparison, the fiber connection is 45ms.

It's incredible how much stuff on the modern web utterly fails with that kind of latency. Every "framework library" 200 byte xfer builds the chance that something wont load and the rest will crash. Not to mention the ISP's charming habit of picking random connections to either hijack for their "your bandwidth has run out but you can pay us to get unthrottled" message, or their random RST injection into streams (how they implement the throttles).

back when, long distance low rate audio modems rarely got worse than 200ms, as far as i recall. Packet network forwarders could make that much worse.
Yeah, every company of any note is planning how to use AI, and a lot of the use cases are already proved out. This isn’t speculative nonsense. The question is how big does it get, not will it be big.

Crypto and blockchain never had an actual proved out use case. There was an interesting idea but no one ever could figure out a way it was useful. The costs associated were much higher than the risks of not using it.

People who think this is a meme aren’t paying attention, and they’re certainly not in the rooms of power where AI planning is happening at megacorps. I’ve been in them, and it’s serious and material and we are just now beginning to scratch the surface.
