CAN I VIBECODE

Cognito Forms?

YESA focused first version is a sensible AI-assisted build. Keep the first release narrow and polish the workflow people repeat.

BUILD FIRST

  1. One defined user and a repeatable end-to-end job
  2. A small, clear data model with sign-in only if it is genuinely needed
  3. Loading, empty, error, and success states that make the workflow feel complete

LEAVE FOR LATER

  1. Large integration marketplaces
  2. Multi-region scale and enterprise administration
  3. Every power-user setting from the established product

RESEARCHED BUILD PROMPT

Give this to your coding agent.

Build a focused replacement for Cognito Forms for a small team collecting structured submissions, based on this public product description: “Free Online Form Builder With Workflow Automation — With Cognito Forms, you can build powerful online forms, collect data, and automate your business workflow - docs, file uploads, signatures, and approvals.” Do not copy the original brand, proprietary assets, name, logo, UI, or copy; create an original visual system.

Core workflow
- Recreate only the narrow primary workflow described above, with compose a limited set of typed fields with validation and preview; publish a responsive form and store submissions in a clear schema; provide filters, detail view, CSV export, and deletion; include rate limits, webhook/retry status, and a configurable thank-you path.
- Keep the product name and source description in a research note in the README, and turn every uncertain behavior into an explicit assumption or user setting rather than inventing a feature.
- Use a small React/TypeScript app with a portable JSON or SQLite data model, clear loading/empty/error states, and adapters around external services. Seed realistic demo data so the complete workflow works without paid credentials.

Scope boundaries
- Out of scope for v1: payments and e-signatures; unlimited integrations; enterprise SSO and scale claims. Do not promise feature parity, proprietary data, or enterprise reliability.

Include a README with setup, environment variables, data model, implementation decisions, privacy behavior, testing instructions, and important limitations.
