Show HN: I made a chat-driven form designer with data insights
I built FormLab.ai to streamline form creation and data analysis. Tired of wrestling with outdated tools?
Here’s what it does: - Conversational Design: Chat with FormLab.ai—say "I need a survey with 5 questions about X"—and it builds a polished form in seconds (Conditional Logic & Validation Supported). - Chat with Data: It lets you explore trends and summaries through simple conversation—no complex dashboards needed, just ask the submission data what you want to know. - No Templates, No Fuss: Skip the rigid editors; just describe what you want, and it’s done. Manual customization surely available. - Solo Dev Effort: Been working on this alone—would love your thoughts on usability and features!
Check it out at FormLab.ai and let me know what you think—especially about the chat accuracy and data insights.

Show HN: My Self-Hosted Open Source WeTransfer Alternative Erugo
Erugo is a totally free, powerful, self-hosted file-sharing platform that puts you in control of your files and data.
I've been working on this project since January this year and i've just released 0.1.1
Features: - Really easy file upload interface with drag and drop support, single file select and folder select.
- Maintains folder structure when you upload nested folders. (As far as I can figure out its the only open source tool that does this)
- Optionally password protect shares.
- Allow users to create "reverse share" requests.
- Set expiry times when creating shares.
- Add recipients to shares and Erugo will send them an email with a link to the share after upload.
- Direct or chunked upload modes available to adapt to network conditions.
- External auth provide support (Google, Microsoft, Authentik, OIDC)
Customisation: - Change UI colours with either the built in themes or create your own.
- Add your own logo and background.
- Add multiple backgrounds and let them display as a slideshow - change the time between slides easily.
- Remove "Powered by Erugo" easily, enabling a fully white-labeled interface.
- Control maximum share size, maximum expiry time, allowed upload modes, and more.
I'm working hard to add features and improve the product. I'd love to read what the HN community thinks to my Project :)

Show HN: I built a tool to automate social media success
You want opportunities to come to you on autopilot, right? I know I do.
A personal brand and nothing else is the way to go, but...
I hate writing a post, formatting for LinkedIn, Twitter (X), generating images for Instagram, etc.
This was born out of my own personal flow of braindumping into a fine-tuned chat in ChatGPT that knew my style. Then, I ask it to write the LinkedIn post and X thread.
I then post the X thread I go to Taplio carousel to convert the thread to images and a carousel pdf I download those images and post on insta I posted the longform and pdf to LinkedIn I post the longform to redditt
I hated doing this every day, but I wanted the benefits of having a personal brand. I wanted opportunities to come to me out of the blue. So do I keep suffering the mental torture and the waste of my time instead of building cool stuff?
Wait, I can build cool stuff, so I built Yapwriter. Sound like typewriter
Yap = Talk
The idea is that you just talk, and your brain dump is converted into a long-form post, a Twitter thread, carousel images, and pdfs. This is the MVP.
The next stage is to add all social platforms, blogging platforms, newsletters, etc.
So that you can just talk, and in a matter of minutes, you're in front of at least 1,000 eyeballs.
If you want this, try out the product today. Thanks everyone.
