About paqu.io
A small independent studio building form tooling that works where the signal doesn't.
paqu is short for paqucha, Quechua for alpaca. It seemed like the right mascot: alpacas are calm, mildly stubborn, and built for thin air and long distances. We're a small herd, working remotely, on tools meant to keep running a long way from the nearest server.
Everything we make comes back to one problem. Forms are how most real-world data actually gets collected, and most tools treat them as an afterthought: hardcoded, painful to change, and useless the moment the network drops. A form should be described as data, not rewritten as code every time a question changes.
What we make
How the two fit together
form0 is MIT licensed and free, and stays that way. It's the whole engine, not a crippled version of something else. reform is the hosted platform built on it, for teams who'd rather not run any of this themselves.
How we work
- Small on purpose. Whoever answers support also writes the code.
- Open by default. The engine is public, the roadmap is public, and the issues are where the real conversation happens.
- Built for the field. Offline isn't an edge case we handle later, it's the starting assumption.
Say hello
We like hearing what people are building, and we read everything that arrives.
