Show HN: Fetch Forms – a headless form builder (fetchforms.io)

4 points by lukefrogger ↗ HN
I've been building websites for 8 years and I've always hated building forms. They're all similar enough to be a repetitive task, but different enough that they still take quite a bit of time and effort. So, after a few years of not finding the tool I wanted, I decided to built it.

Introducing Fetch Forms!

Developers can create forms with the speed of a form builder and they can use those forms in their code. Devs can use their favorite frontend tools and libraries or even use Fetch Form's frontend libraries to render their forms.

Form submissions are always provided to the developer in-code as well as an optional setting to save the submissions to Fetch Forms cloud.

I would appreciate any feedback!

Hey all, Fetch Forms is still very new, so there are tons of features on the roadmap. What are the big ones you'd need to see before using it in your business/project?

Do you plan to handle multi-step forms and conditional logic?

Love what you have so far!

That's definitely in the plans! Multi-step or multi-page forms are pretty far out, but conditional logic is pretty high on the list.

One of the great aspect of Fetch Forms is that both of these can done right now with some code on the front the frontend. Conditional logic would be tricky with validation, but multi-step forms would be fairly since you'll probably already have a build the step workflow yourself. You'd just pass in the appropriate fields from the Fetch Form to each step.
