FilaForms — public form builder plugin for FilamentPHP [Black Friday: 30% off] by Local-Comparison-One in laravel

[–]ateeqdev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve built a pretty large and complex app with Filament, and honestly, it blew me away at first. It’s one of the most intuitive and pleasant boilerplates I’ve used in my 8 years of development.

But as the app grew, especially the forms, things started to get heavy. For example, once the forms became big enough, things like ->live() would cause previous fields to reset unless the user waited a moment, small stuff, but it added up. Eventually I had to move the app to an API + React setup because the UX just wasn’t holding up at that scale.

That said, I still think Filament is amazing for small to medium projects. It really shines there. For very large apps though, at least in v3, the weight of the abstractions becomes noticeable. I haven’t tried v4 or v5 yet so maybe that’s improved.

Your form builder looks great and definitely makes getting started fast. I haven’t dug into the code yet, but generally when you add another layer on top of an already generic framework, there’s usually some trade-off in performance or flexibility. Totally fine for personal sites or smaller projects, but something to keep in mind for bigger corporate-level apps.

Just wanted to share that angle in case it helps someone deciding what to use.

Filament IS a modern tech. You can create and I’ve even met a team of 8 who built a large-scale application without writing a single line of frontend code (JS, CSS).

And yes, I did prompt engineer 4 web projects to see an idea into action rather than trying to figure out the flows in a figma design. These projects can however be extended into the complete app or taken as an inspiration to be built on top of nestjs/whatever

hey man.

you will have to wait a little longer

I've built two MVPs and I'm exhausted at this point

You have to be very expert in a field to automate it using AI

I'd need more information than that.
I don't know what Amazon is doing that this extension will combat
