I’m genuinely scared of going broke.
Every time I try to rest, my brain starts reminding me of another problem that needs solving. Next thing I know, I’m buying another domain and building another product.
Recently, I lost a UK client because I hadn’t integrated a payment processor they could use. During the demo, they tried paying through Paystack… and Paystack decided that was the perfect moment for the transaction to fail.
I don’t ever want to lose a client for that reason again.
So I’m building something new.
It’s called Formtasia—an AI-powered form builder with global payments built in.
Things I’ll be learning while building it:
🍎 Sign in with Apple (my first time implementing it)
💳 Global payments powered by RevenueCat
🤖 AI integration using OpenAI + LangChain
🎟️ Credit purchases for AI usage
I’ll be documenting the entire journey in this thread as I build.
Here’s the logo and the login screen I’ve designed so far.
Last month, I lost a client during a live demo because a payment didn't go through.
It wasn't a small glitch; it ended up killing the deal.
That experience reminded me that global payments are never something I want to treat as an afterthought again.
But that's not the only reason I'm building Formtasia.
Every time I onboard a new client, I end up creating a Google Form, duplicating old templates, editing questions, and sending links around.
When we're designing a client's brand identity, my team has to prepare another document just to collect logos, colors, fonts, references, and project details.
- Need a client brief? Another form.
- Need testimonials? Another form.
- Need feature requests? Another form.
It's repetitive, manual, and honestly exhausting.
My virtual assistants can spend close to an hour preparing forms before we even start building the actual product.
I hate slow systems.
If I know something can be automated, I don't want to wait; I want to build the solution.
So instead of complaining, I started building Formtasia.
An AI-powered form builder that generates complete forms from a simple prompt, supports global payments, and helps businesses collect information in minutes instead of hours.
I'm also using it to push myself as an engineer by implementing technologies I haven't used before:
🍎 Sign in with Apple
💳 Global payments with RevenueCat
🤖 AI integration using OpenAI + LangChain
🎟️ Credit-based purchases
This is how I like to work: solve a real problem I face, learn something new, and ship a product people can actually use.
I'll be documenting the entire journey here as I build.
And if you're a founder following along, you'll get a front-row seat to how I think, design, and build software from idea to production.
Let's build.
