In 2019, I had the opportunity to take over a promising open source project called OhMyForm that was at risk of becoming abandoned. The original developer had created a solid foundation but was unable to continue maintaining it. Recognizing the project's potential and the community's need, I stepped in to not only maintain but significantly expand both the codebase and the community around it. After several years of successful development and growth, I made the decision to sunset OhMyForm in 2022 as the excellent Formbricks project had vastly exceeded my own ambitions and provided a superior alternative for the community.

+In 2024, after careful consideration of the project's trajectory and the emergence of more comprehensive alternatives, I made the decision to sunset OhMyForm. The repository was officially archived on GitHub in October 2024. The excellent Formbricks project had vastly exceeded my own ambitions for OhMyForm and offered the community a superior solution with more features, better support, and a stronger development team.
This decision reflects an important principle in open source stewardship: recognizing when another project better serves the community's needs and being willing to step aside rather than fragmenting efforts. I encouraged our users to migrate to Formbricks and worked to ensure a smooth transition for the community.
