Can I vibe code Tally?
Free, flexible form builder — surveys, signups, quizzes.
A form is inputs plus a place to store the answers. With a component library and a database or a Google Sheet as the backend, a personal form tool is a weekend project at most, and usually a single sitting for the common case. The paid tiers sell polish and integrations, not a moat.
Build a form-builder alternative to Tally for my own use. Start with a single form defined in a form-schema.ts file (field type, label, required, options) so I can add or reorder fields by editing that one file. Render it as a clean, accessible, multi-step form with client and server validation. On submit, store the response in a database table and send me an email notification with the answers. Add a simple password-protected /responses page that lists submissions in a table with CSV export. Use Next.js App Router, keep it deployable to Vercel with a hosted Postgres, and comment the schema so adding a new field is obvious.
A multi-field form with validation that writes submissions to a database (or a spreadsheet) and emails you on each response.
- Their drag-and-drop builder — you define fields in code or config
- Dozens of prebuilt integrations (Notion, Slack, etc.) out of the box
- Conditional logic and calculators without writing the logic yourself
- Hosted response dashboards and export tooling
Teams that spin up many forms a week want the no-code builder and the one-click integrations more than they want to own the code.
A prompt is the first move, not the whole game. Course 01 teaches you to take a prompt like this one to a shipped, working app — reviewing, correcting, and steering the agent the whole way.
