This is the first post, so it should probably explain what this is.
paqu.io is a small independent studio. paqu is short for paqucha, Quechua for alpaca, which is the animal in the logo and roughly the pace we work at.
Two products
form0 is an open-source form engine. A JSON schema describes a form’s fields, its conditional visibility, its validation and its calculations, and the engine evaluates all of it anywhere JavaScript runs: a browser, a phone, a server, a CLI. It is MIT licensed and free, and that is not a trial period.
reform is the hosted platform built on that engine, for teams collecting data in places where the network is a rumour. Surveys, inspections and assessments that keep working offline and sync when they can.
The short version: if you want to run it yourself, form0 is the whole thing. If you would rather not run anything, reform is there.
What will end up here
Notes from building those. Design decisions that were harder than they looked, things that turned out to be wrong, and the occasional release worth explaining. When we get something wrong we would rather write about it than quietly patch it.
What this will not be is a marketing channel. There are better places to read about features, starting with the docs.
Come say hello
The form0 board is where the roadmap and the issues live, and it is the fastest route for anything technical. Discord is where the questions and the half-formed ideas go. Everything else reaches us at hello@paqu.io, where a person reads it.
