Visit FormBin to register, setup a form, and start collecting submissions.
Vision
There are multiple websites providing simple connection between HTML forms and e-mails, such as Formspree or Formcarry. My main issue with those is expensive pricing, and limiting free tier.
My goal was to create equally simple HTML form backend, which is free and open source. To keep it 100% free, submissions aren't send by email, instead, stored in a database. To have experience similar to e-mail with notifications, pings, and ability to mark it as read, I decided to integrate with Discord.
While this idea was in my mind for over a year, I decided to work on this during Leo's mini-hackathon in collaboration with Appwrite. Hackathon only lasted 3 days, out of which, I spent 2 days working on FormBin.
