[Feedback wanted] FlowFrames: embeddable single page link groups, forms, events and lists.

Hello, I've been working on FlowFrames.io lately, a platform to quickly generate single pages with predefined content. Whether you need to build a linktree type of page, an FAQ, a page with events info or a simple customized form, FlowFrames can help you do so. And you won't have to write a single line of code.

Why?

It all started when I needed to add an iFrame to my Circle community, of an upcoming event. All available (and low cost) options had heavy branding or didn't match the community layout. So I had to write a custom HTML page, add the stylesheets and do all these boring tasks just to show 2 events in a web page. Moreover, I needed to add an FAQ about the event on a separate page so again I had to go through the same process. This sparked the basic idea of building a simple page generator app that would require no more than 1 minute to publish a page without even caring about hosting the page.

At another time, I tried to set up a Linktree page for my insta which for some reason required a phone verification. "I'm done here. Gotta build a light linktree alternative" I though to myself. After all, all I cared were a few links and maybe some css.

Few weeks later, I've launched the FlowFrames MVP.

How?

While I am still testing, anyone can take it for a spin @ flowframes.io/beta

The basic functionality is there. I am trying to optimize things and find those bugs before launching it. I am thinking of having a free version with no restrictions on functionalities and maybe just add a premium plan on addons such as attaching a custom CSS to your pages, customizing the url endpoint and integration with Analytics services.

I'm putting together how-to's and a quick-start guide but maybe it would be best for a few people to test before knowing anything at all on how to navigate. When you generate a page, you need to publish it in order to become available online. I've also snatched the ffram.es domain which is a short to flowframes and is used to serve the published content (so you can share on social media without needing a URL shortening service).

I've got a form on the website home (on the apply here link) which is generated on the platform. When you generate a form, you need to define where you are posting your data, so I'm sending them to an Airtable grid and integration took less than 1 minute.

Feedback

As said, I am looking for feedback on the platform usage and thoughts regarding which features should be implemented, or the lack of which functionality would be a deal breaker. For example, I was thinking of providing additional pre-defined form fields (such as phone number input, pin, password) and maybe a mailing service to send you notifications as soon as someone submits a form, but then again this might make forms a bit complicated and start stepping into another league (you know Typeform, Airtable forms, etc).

At the moment I am using my own service (published several pages) and added them as iframes into a community I run on Circle and another one on Discord. The default light UI matches Circle perfectly and the dark UI matches Discord so they look great.

If anyone tests the platform and finds it genuinely useful, I'd love to know and make sure I'd give you the premium plan free for life (when it would become available).
