Offline forms platform development
This is not really a help related post, just wanted to bounce a possible idea for an offline forms platform:
Getting forms to work offline natively with quick-base is not possible. I know Viziapps has a great platform to allow this, but they don't currently have a drag and drop form builder where you can build complex forms and put in form logic and rules etc.
I was thinking of developing a third party application where anyone can easily create a form in a drag and drop front end via a website.
Part of the form will have a "connections" toggle,whereby on submission of the forms the data can be sent to various different "Destinations" (e-mail as html, google drive spreadsheet, zapier to quickbase, etc).
Once the form is ready and made active the user can "deploy" the form in various different ways:
1) Into their own native iOS/android app (we will develop a piece of code for the developer to embed into the app that can collect and sync the form) - so it can be changed on the fly and the app will automatically update the form without any further development from the developer)
2) Websites via wordpress plugin/code snippet etc
3) Our own native app that can be downloaded and receive/sync/submit the forms if the customer doesn't have their own app.
I think the person that would greatly benifit from thuis would be the developer, instead of creating forms from scratch in code based on clients needs, he could save a massive amount of time just referring his/her client to the form builder online. Might save a lot of money/time in development.
Would appreciate some critique and ideas from the community on whether this would be something worth exploring?
