Floma is a diagraming/low-code tool for conditional question/answer flows. I think it already beats code for getting an overview over different paths people can take through complex forms.

Currently it is merely an editor which spits out a JSON state machine that can be embedded in any app. I think that is a feature because the nitty gritty of UI, and all the possible Turing-complete in-between steps can still be fully custom (we also generate a TS file with question-answer-type mappings, to guarantee type safety).

Then again, it could also become a hosted service. That might help with onboarding users. But then we'd have to wade into the waters of saving form submissions and all the associated privacy questions. Might be worth it though?!

We built it out of necessity for https://mietencheck.de (which I blogged about here: https://watwa.re/mietencheck).

LF all kinds of feedback!
