Show HN: Fireform – Hook your website form into a hosted private back end

All these static form hosting tools make me think maybe one of our side projects had some possible legs: http://formend.com/

It's a backend for form data. The idea being you never set up a schema or layout ahead of time, you just send named fields and file uploads and it just works.

The implementation is a bit buggy though, it was more of a proof of concept.

In an ideal world the "name" of you form should be the key and the "type" should be the schema. This is perfect when you want you need the bread and butter of a website form: an email response and a spreadsheet of the contacts.

I love the concept, but I'd much prefer to self-host such a tool.

I'd pay for something that easily handle all the ad-hoc forms we want to cook up on our otherwise static marketing site.

Funny, I've been working on a tool that is exactly that. Sounds like it might be worth uploading to Github?
