Solving Complex Data Collection With This App (Combining No-Code & Vibe-Coding)

I’ve seen many businesses struggling with complex data collection projects.

It used to require many workarounds when tackled through no-code platforms, but Softr has solved that forever with the new vibe-coding block!

This was the occasion to play around and build a smart interface+DB connection that handles multiple question types without complex database schemas required. The hack is to leverage JSON in long text fields, following a simple yet structured format that allows to store specific metadata based on the question type (single select, multi select, date, number…) to for example limit the # of characters or allow to select only X values for multi select questions.
