Hello y'all!
We've got some short yet incredibly exciting news to share today: Flottform's first-ever demo is officially live! 🥳 Dive right in at https://demo.flottform.io and experience the magic yourself. Caveat: Some network setups will not work (yet) - mobile to mobile connections for example.
Remember our previous discussions about how Flottform could revolutionize customer experience and support? Well, we took that idea and turned it into reality for our debut demo. Presenting a straightforward "Return and Complaints" form, it's not just about functionality; we've sprinkled in a dash of time-saving auto-fill feature. And guess what? If you opt for the auto-fill, you're in for a treat with some witty ChatGPT humor! 🤫
Why should developers try it?
Integrating Flottform into your existing projects will be a breeze.
Think about what flow you usually have to implement to achieve multiplayer forms: Files (or other parts of the form) need to be stored separately on the server, allowing a second device to do an upload in parallel. If the user aborts the form, the implementation needs to handle garbage collection of these uploads. The form and the uploaded files need to be connected in some way. A simple solution is to handle this through a login / sign in, so only the user itself is permitted to connect their forms to their respective uploads. But this adds a burden to the user and it means losing the ability to get a file from someone else without sharing credentials!
There are lots of details to keep in mind and different user flows to consider. Our approach gives an easy way out of all of these problems while maintaining full control over the already implemented design of the existing forms. Flottform can be put on top of existing forms without causing any disruptions. This means you have the freedom to tailor your forms precisely to your project's branding and user experience requirements.
You can even create specialized uploader forms that allow use cases you couldn't implement before: If you have your form on an embedded device and need to pass it a photo from your phone's camera, this is now possible.
In short, Flottform combines time-saving convenience with the flexibility and style compatibility every developer seeks. Transform your web forms effortlessly, while keeping your unique style intact.
Why should customer experience professionals try it?
Flottform significantly boosts user experience by allowing data uploads to a form from another device. In today's world, where data and images are often divided across different users and devices, Flottform simplifies the process, making it easy to share data by improving the user experience.
Consider the extra time and steps involved in clarifying a customer request due to incomplete information on a form. With Flottform, this can be a thing of the past. Imagine a scenario where a customer begins filling out a form on their laptop and needs to add a photo, but the hassle of emailing the image from their phone to the laptop deters them.
Flottform eliminates this additional step by allowing easy, direct photo uploads from any device, ensuring clearer communication and reducing the need for back-and-forth feedback. Check out the demo for “Returns and Complaints” to see it in action.
Why should everyone try it out?
First and foremost, let's just say it - Flottform is cool 😎. But that's just the tip of the iceberg. We have several ideas for how Flottform can be utilized, with file uploading being only one exciting feature. So, even if you're not a developer or directly involved in customer support, why not give Flottform a spin? See for yourself how smooth and efficient file transfers can be. And hey, if a lightbulb goes off and you think of another innovative way to use Flottform, we're all ears! We're always eager to hear your feedback and ideas. Reach out to us - your input could spark the next big feature! 🌟🚀
