🎉 Announcing Local AI Form Generation on Formstr — Powered by Ollama
Formstr now supports local AI form generation by connecting directly to your own Ollama instance through a browser extension.
Introducing Downloadable Forms: Your Form, Forever
Formstr now lets users download any form as a standalone HTML file, giving them complete ownership and independence from formstr.app. The form remains fully functional — including encryption and submission to Nostr relays — with no backend, no hosting dependency, and no internet required (until submission). This update supports offline use, self-hosting, censorship resistance, and long-term preservation of forms. It aligns with Formstr’s mission to minimize central points of failure and maximize user sovereignty. Unlike most traditional form builders, Formstr is the only known platform offering a fully portable, encrypted, Nostr-native form experience. Try it now at formstr.app.

The player with the most Proof of Work wins, but it’s not just about gameplay; it’s about the seamless integration of the Lightning Network and real-time payments.
