Iโ€™m excited to share Submify โ€” an open-source, self-hosted Form Backend as a Service (FBaaS). ๐Ÿ’ฅ The problem If youโ€™ve ever built a website, you know forms are deceptively painful: You either rely on third-party services (and give away your data ๐Ÿ’€) Or you build everything from scratch (auth, storage, spam protection, dashboardsโ€ฆ) Scaling, file uploads, exports, notifications โ€” it all adds up fast For developers who care about control, privacy, and ownership, the current options are limiting. ๐Ÿš€ The solution โ€” Submify Submify is a fully self-hosted form backend stack that gives you everything you need out of the box: โšก Simple JSON form submission API ๐Ÿ“Š Clean dashboard to manage submissions ๐Ÿ—‚๏ธ Export to XLSX / PDF ๐Ÿ” Secure API key-based ingestion ๐Ÿ“ฆ File uploads with S3-compatible storage (MinIO/RustFS) ๐Ÿ”” Optional Telegram notifications ๐Ÿงฑ Built with Go (Gin), Next.js, PostgreSQL, and Nginx All running behind a single entry point, deployable with Docker in minutes. ๐ŸŽฏ Why I built this I wanted a no-middleman solution where: Your form data stays yours You can run everything on your own server And still get a modern dashboard + developer-friendly API Basically: the power of SaaS, without the SaaS lock-in. ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ’ป Who is this for? Indie hackers & SaaS builders Developers building client projects Agencies managing multiple websites Anyone who wants a form backend they fully control ๐Ÿ™Œ Would love your feedback This is just the beginning โ€” Iโ€™m actively improving it. What features would you want next? Would you use this in production? Anything confusing in setup or docs? Your feedback will directly shape the roadmap ๐Ÿ™ Thanks for checking out Submify โค๏ธ
