uilding Riven — a visual form builder for creating powerful forms without writing code.
Riven lets users visually create and customize forms with a drag-and-drop builder, dynamic fields, persistent database storage, and a modern form-rendering system.
Built with:
Next.js
React
TypeScript
tRPC
PostgreSQL
Drizzle ORM
Tailwind CSS
I’ve been working on the architecture, type-safe API layer, database persistence, drag-and-drop field reordering, form rendering, and overall product experience.
Summary: A suite of 20+ developer utilities that run entirely in
the browser. No uploads, no server, no data leaving your machine.
What I did: Built the full stack — Next.js frontend, Web Workers
for heavy processing (formatting tens of thousands of lines of JSON,
PDF manipulation, hashing) so the UI never blocks. Every tool works
offline after first load.
The no-upload promise is the strongest part. I'd make the offline state visible in the UI, so someone working with sensitive JSON or PDFs can see that the file stays on their machine before they drop it in.
T-Platform, a unified trading app for crypto, stocks and forex.
Three markets, three apps, no way to see real exposure. We put all of it into one dark workspace: real-time charts, order execution, positions and history in a single view.
