That time, I thought to use Google Form, but it was way too blocky and looked very unprofessional on my agency website.

Minform▲150Initially started in 2023 as an idea to build minimal interface form builder with full customisation for end user. But got stopped out due to freelancing work I was getting through this. This time decided to resume working on this I can see the potential in it. So started fresh and completely redesigned the app with tailwind and react-aria-components.
