Re: [off-ish] v17 or 18 - Exported forms
Yes, forms are exported in JSON format. In project mode, CSS files are used for some of the style information. Converting a form into something usable by a web browser is certainly possible, but it will not be a small or simple project.

[off-ish] v17 or 18 - Exported forms
I have not done ANY work with v18, and only opened v17 once to quickly test an app's compatibility. I understand that it is now possible to export forms in a manner which is compatible with a code repository/version control system. If this is correct what is the format of the form data? I assume it is text, and probably JSON... IF these 2 assumptions are true, is it (reasonable) to parse the son into html for direct rendering in a browser? My end quest is to find some sort of functional GUI for form building that I can use for/with React/javascript without having to manually code very F-ing pixel placement. maybe... the forms generated by Wakanda? any help pointing me in the right direction would be appreciated.
