Form Chimp - Web forms made simple | Product Hunt
Imagine you created this cool HTML form. It looks amazing with some of your CSS work and even had fun animations with some JS. You wanted it to be functional, to actually collect data. Maybe it was for your portfolio site or a project you’ve been working on. How would you implement this?
You’d need to have a place for the data to go, perhaps a database. You’d need to hook that up to your form with some server code. Then you’d need a place to conveniently access that form data, perhaps a dashboard. And don’t forget about security!
All of that, to have your form be functional. So then you say screw it, change of plans! You decide to use HTML form builders such as JotForms, but there is one problem with such products. They have an annoying watermark, and you don’t have much freedom as to how your form looks. And you have to pay them to have those features! Just the worst.
So the problem is - How can you get your HTML forms to be functional, without having to write server code. And still have control over the user experience.
Form Chimp. A platform that allows you to build web forms without worrying about writing server code. And it does it in a way that grants you 100% freedom on how the front-end would look like.
You get a link that you put inside the action attribute of your HTML form. Assuming your submit button is nested inside the form, once the user hits submit, the from would make a post request to the link, and our API would take care of the rest. Simple. No external JS or CSS. No BS 😉
