The core loop is small enough for a capable coding agent to produce a useful local version in one sitting. For Opinion Stage, create a poll, quiz, or survey and embed it with basic response analytics. The hard boundary is templates, hosted delivery, lead features, and engagement reporting, plus integrations, deliverability, and workflow depth.

# Opinion Stage indie build

## Goal

Build the smallest trustworthy replacement for the core Opinion Stage workflow for one developer or a tiny team.

## Scope

Create a poll, quiz, or survey, embed it publicly, validate submissions, notify the owner, and provide basic analytics with a private response table and CSV export.

## Quick start

1. Install the documented dependencies.
2. Copy `.env.example` to `.env`.
3. Run the development command chosen during implementation.
4. Complete the acceptance checks in `BUILD_PLAN.md`.

## Honest limits

This build deliberately does not replace:
- templates, hosted delivery, lead features, and engagement reporting
- advanced branching
- payment and CRM integrations
- large template libraries
- enterprise compliance

If those capabilities are essential, use Formbricks instead of pretending the gap is solved.

why people still pay

People still pay for Opinion Stage because a basic form is trivial; people pay when the form feeds a dependable business workflow and never loses a response. The recurring cost buys spam control, email delivery, storage, exports, accessibility, conditional logic, and integrations, not just the visible interface.
