Isn't it too technical for customers like "freelancers & small companies"? They have to know how to install a npm package and use it which excludes most standard cms sites like wordpress. Why is this not a "no-code" drop in snippet where stuff could be configured in the dashboard.

Wufoo.com does this. The MBAs won over there though so lots of opportunities to be better.

Thanks for that! It will help us create a direction for mailik. Obviously we are small team that does side-projects from time to time, but we can take what's useful from it.

nice to see a simple solution to a common problem. how do you handle spam submissions? do you have any built-in filtering or do you rely on the user's email provider to catch the junk mail? also, what third party are you using to ensure deliverability of mail?

its not an issue as emails are always send from the same domain - mailik.dev, so you can whitelist in your inbox to make sure its not detected as spam. regarding the spam sumbmision, this is an interesting topic. as for now we're fully leaving building and handling forms for our users, what we do is just handling email delivery :)

For me to consider this an option, spam filtering is a must.

I often point forms at client email addresses and can’t risk them getting a bunch of spam.

Yes but mailik only sends mails to your addresses not clients. However we will think how to filter spam ofc

Oh then I misunderstood.

Sending to in-the-loop third parties is a must. I’ve set up 1 form that goes to me directly and hundreds which go to others.

Curious to hear if you generally prefer to manage client's forms and billing through your own account or have them create their own and share credentials with you?

Maybe just sending the confirmation without the actual message. World is transforming and sending to people who filled out the form may open the gates to spammers. What do you think?

I think there are 2 situations: - 1 client is not technical at all - so you manage on your acc - client is ok with having their own acc, then it is much better option

I like this! I feel like I've written a half-version of this a dozen times, it's nice to see a version which is fully fleshed out.

One feature request: you could likely fully remove the need for an NPM package by accepting POST requests from forms, and staple the API key in with either the URL or an —is that in the roadmap?
