Congratulations, the form builder looks great!
The web really lacks a good drag and drop form build with good extensibility. I spent 2 entire days testing out all the form builders I could find and none of them were both easy to use and extensible. On the other hand, JSON/DSL based form libraries take WAAYY too much time to setup and customize.
Kudos to you and your team for tackling this challenge!
P.S. Please host a demo so we can test the form builder and other goodies you're making!

Thanks @rayliverified :) The whole Webiny CMS and all our apps are made for developers so that they can extend them and fully customize them for their needs. In terms of the demo, we actually had that discussion a few hours ago internally and we will have something ready in the next few days ;) Thanks again for your feedback!
Good release guys! I was wondering can I run the form builder as a standalone without having to install the CMS?
Hi @parkerituk, unfortunately it only works with the CMS, you can’t use it as a standalone app.

Webiny is an open-source CMS for serverless web development and our goal is to empower developers to create serverless apps with ease. We do that by providing processes, tools and ready-made apps.
One of those new apps is Webiny Form Builder. Use it to create both simple and complex forms. Developers have full control over the form look and feel and can easily extend and add new functionality. The Form Builder has a seamless integration with Webiny Page Builder, so it's easy to insert the forms into your page.
The Webiny team is on this thread and happy to answer any questions. We would love to get some early feedback so we can further improve the product.
@abhiroop_cvk Unfortunately not as Webiny is a standalone product. To use it you need to run your whole website on Webiny. We will soon add a Headless module, which will allow you to pull the forms and other content via an API, but in that case it's on you to do the rendering of the form and content. Happy to answer any other questions.
Hey @edwin_hakof, Webiny is 100% free and open-source. You host it on your own AWS cloud. There are no plans or packages that you need to pay for.
Is DynamoDB plugin for backend database available? I wanted to try out earlier but seeing only MongoDB plugin at the moment for the backend is a little bit of turnoff (sorry). Let me share my thoughts, I have several sites some with low to near zero traffic hence paying a minimum $14 for micro MongoDB instance isn't desirable. Also, I would prefer the entire stack to stay within AWS hence I would prefer not to use MongoDB Atlas free tier (I believe many would have the same preference as well). Would be great if your team can prioritize DynamoDB plugin support and I believe that will really drive the adoption further. Cheers.
Hi @ssteo! The DynamoDB plugin is not available at the moment. There are a few community members that took on the task to work on it, but it still seems to be in progress. If this is something you are willing to contribute, we are happy to assist you. The github issues is documented here: https://github.com/webiny/webiny...
@svenalhamad What's the pricing of this product? Is it free? I know that not all open source products are so just want to make sure.
Hi @sarah_flores, Webiny is 100% free and open source. You install it on your own infrastructure and there is nothing you need to pay us for nor there are any restrictions or limits in the product.
@pedro_salvado Thank you Pedro - and if you decide to try it out, let us know what you think!
