Together with the FormKit author Justin Schroeder, Michael and Alex discuss the challenges of building forms on the internet.

While it seems like a simple task, forms can be complex and pretty time-consuming. Especially when it is more than a Newsletter or Contact Form.

Justin shares his experience building FormKit (multiple times), a form library for Vue.js, and how it can help developers build forms faster and more efficiently. From Accessibility to actually covering edge cases such as form hydration and repopulation!

Of course, we couldn't let Justin go without talking about some of his hot takes from Vue in 2024, over to Vapor Mode, and Tailwind.

Enjoy the episode!
