Softr

I started on Softr’s existing forms, which were simple: maintenance, new features and bug fixes. That made me the owner of the block side of Conditional Form when its development began. We were kicking off Apricot, our new design system, at the same time, so I built its input components first, then the form itself: multi-step flows with sections, fields that appear and validate on conditions, and submissions to a configurable destination, all driven by a state machine. I also built condition evaluation and the record encoder, which converts form data into each destination’s format. Other blocks reused both later.

Comments comes in two forms: an action button in the Item Details block that opens a sliding drawer, and a separate block placed under Item Details. I took it from idea to production: I built the block, designed and built its pieces in Apricot, such as avatars, the comment input and the emoji picker, and made the architectural change that lets Comments read the open item without breaking the isolation between blocks.

I maintained and extended the old account blocks, then built the new Forgot Password, Reset Password and User Profile blocks. A teammate built the new sign-in and sign-up, and I later maintained and extended those too. The new account blocks shipped to over a million users with zero critical incidents.

I worked on every other block too: a lot on Calendar, and on List, Item Details and Charts, both the old and the new versions of each, and the new Grid. I added polling to many of them, so they keep their data up to date instead of showing stale records. I led the block side of Onboarding and Standalone Form, and my last feature was Global Search.
