Hey Product Hunt! I'm building Helios Gather, a new way to create and manage forms 🚀
Hey everyone! 👋
I'm the founder of Lucion Global, and I've been working on something I'm excited to share with this community.
It's called Helios Gather, a form-building and response-management platform that's part of our growing Helios Array productivity ecosystem.
The idea started with a simple question: Why does collecting information have to feel more complicated than it should?
We're building Gather around a straightforward experience: create forms, share them, collect responses, and manage everything in one place.
We're still early, and that's part of why I'm here. I want to learn from people who actually build products, run businesses, and rely on forms every day.
We're launching on Product Hunt this Friday, November 6!
I'd love to know: What's one thing you wish your current form builder did better?
Looking forward to meeting other makers and hearing your thoughts!

Good luck on Friday, Matthew! My wish for form builders comes from building a small intake quiz into my own app: store the option ids, not the labels. My quiz saves an id for each question and each answer, and every label shown is translated, so I can reword a question or add a language without orphaning the answers people already gave. Most form tools I have seen export the visible text, so the day someone fixes a typo in an option, last month's responses and this month's no longer group together. If Gather keeps a stable id under every editable label, that alone would make me look twice.
