How to PoC x Formbricks API

How to PoC x Formbricks API

TL;DR

Intro

Over time, ive been doing quite a lot of tinkering.

After that, ive materialized the learnings for me and for others in different places.

From those streamlit/pygwalker web/apps as pocs that exceeded grafana expectations.

Because using ChartJS, ApexChartsJs or Shadcn charts is a quick option nowadays.

PoC as a Service

What a catchy name, I wonder from where i took it from.

Anyways, I hope that your are not doing PoCs around powerbi or looker at this point of time.

Why should you be limited to certain UIs?

Drag’n drops UIs are for humans who know about data, but not so much about dev.

Havent you ever laugh on those people using excel?

Well…

The idea is that when you’ve done so many PoCs from scratch, there are certain patterns that can be operationalized and improved to the max.

All thanks to procedural knowledge, that can be stored as .md files.

In this one im assuming that you know how to create and how to deliver effectively.

git clone /poc
#cd ./poc/aegis-freedom
cd ./poc/iperf

Oh, you were a BA/PM/PDM?

Then create like one.

The human psyc considered to bundle everything.

Presenting Ideas

Provide proper context: topic, UI/X, branding, audience, psyc factors…

I said this million times: slidevJS is great

just that probably between the moment I explained how to use it until now, you havent done so

so…you can skip it and go to html

agents are good enough to live them loose for ppt generation already

codex #npm install @openai/codex

#see the .md of this repo and the .png would you be able to create a presentation that a SMD would do to sell this idea to a big corp big data company?

If you work with people that are still trapped at excel for some strange reason

chances are that you will need pptx exports:

#slidev can also export pdfs

More Tech Talks

It was about time to present this GenBi solution

Actually it was a long route, also here and with Vite

git clone https://github.com/JAlcocerT/langchain-db-ui
cd langchain-db-ui/Z_PGSQL-GenBI
###make help
#git clone https://github.com/JAlcocerT/selfhosted-landing
#cd y2026-tech-talks/3-genbi-langchain
#npm run dev 

Slidev?

Why not just a full powered html presentation that I can bring later on at my main web?

From HTML to Promo Video

Why not…(?)

yep, remotionJS again.

This is going to be similar to the repo-2-doc-2-video that I show case here.


Conclusions

Remove creativity for llms/ agents when they are not so good yet at a task

let them be to surprise you when they are ready to roll :)

#git clone

Who you gonna call

It was time to make a consistent branding for my main services, isnt it?

#git clone /jalcocertech
git init && git add . && git commit -m "Initial commit: JAlcocerTech Services" && gh repo create jalcocertech-services --private --source=. --remote=origin --push
#https://skills.sh/anthropics/skills/frontend-design

git clone https://github.com/JAlcocerT/jalcocertech

#tech talks 26 #jalcocertech-consulting.pages.dev
git clone https://github.com/JAlcocerT/selfhosted-landing #consulting.
#docker ps -a --filter "name=selfhosted-landing-prod"
npx wrangler pages deploy dist --project-name jalcocertech-consulting
#npm run build && npx wrangler pages deploy dist

npx wrangler pages project delete your_project_name

There is been some crq for re-designs:

#jalcocertech-ebooks.pages.dev
git clone https://github.com/JAlcocerT/1ton-ebooks #ebooks.
#docker ps -a --filter "name=ebook"
#docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d --build #via termix

FAQ

About Pro Delivery

First thing first: know the context and where are you at these

P*V

are you part of the GM that delivers?

some R&D? marketing to attract/convert?

value eq ofc

Then…you are well aware of the context and can formulate it


FAQ

  1. If you are deploying via cloudflare tunnels, you can restrict the access of your web/apps to certain countries only.

See how ive done so for some selfhosted services

  1. From Engineering metrics to behavioral patterns (DORA!)

because writting code is no longer the bottleneck

One thing is a vibe coder, another an engineering doing agentic driven SD

Human and Organization change management will definitely be a thing

similarly as introducing agile or devops was a thing

It’d help for you to be prepare with nice questions and write proper docs

  1. Have you finally added business knowledge to the ebooks?

Yep, with help of

#uv add kreuzberg

foreach ($f in Get-ChildItem *.pdf) {
    uvx kreuzberg extract "$f" > "$($f.BaseName).txt"
}

Programmatic Formbricks via API

There is no good landing without a place for people to say sth.

Like opinions or provide their contact.

Going to formbricks UI is nice and you can do that.

Or you your agent can make surveys programmatically with the context of the full service.

#uv init
