What HeyForm actually does
HeyForm is a self-hosted form builder designed to create conversational surveys, questionnaires, quizzes, and polls. It provides an interface for gathering user input through interactive, step-by-step questions rather than static web pages.
Best fit: Teams and individuals who need to host their own interactive survey tooling to collect user feedback or questionnaire responses independently.
Worth knowing: The AGPL-3.0 licence places copyleft requirements on your modifications if you offer the software as a network service, and the project competes with numerous established hosted and self-hosted form alternatives.
Deployment notes
Because the application is distributed as a container, you will typically need to configure Docker Compose alongside persistent volumes for data storage and a reverse proxy to handle TLS termination.
