Zero ongoing costs:No database, no backend servers Deploy on Vercel/Netlify free tier in minutes Configurable via JSON (themes, text, multi-language)
Perfect for MVPs, landing pages, portfolios, or any low-volume use case.Repo: https://github.com/Luigigreco/gitforms License: CC-BY-NC-SA-4.0 (non-commercial only – fine for personal projects, not client work).Curious what HN thinks: would you use this? Any obvious improvements or edge cases I missed?Thanks!
- that the code is 100% mit licensed (it's not)
- that this is in any way gdpr compliant (there are literal rules around this)
- that your data is encrypted and private (it isn't encrypted? Unless being written in Italian is encryption now?)
- that they'll have 99.9% uptime (there is no SLA for vercel hobby tiers)
- "No middlemen. No third-party storage. Every submission lives in your GitHub..." (that is the very definition of third-party storage and a middleman)
If you know it's a glued-together solution that you'll have to rip apart if your program scales, why make it so complex in the first place?

It's no longer "live" so I wouldn't try and use it. I was using Supabase free tier to manage auth, and got tired of keeping it live. Good lesson learnt.
The Git trademark policy says they don't want people to name things like this.
> you may not use any of the Marks as a syllable in a new word or as part of a portmanteau (e.g., "Gitalicious", "Gitpedia") used as a mark for a third-party product or service
GitHub, GitLab, Gitorious (now gone)...
I agree in general, but I think this ship has sailed a ways out to sea already. I don't think essentially anyone thinks "GitThing" is "git's official Thing".

Good that you've positioned it for prototypes.
