I’m excited to share Submify — an open-source, self-hosted Form Backend as a Service (FBaaS). 💥 The problem If you’ve ever built a website, you know forms are deceptively painful: You either rely on third-party services (and give away your data 💀) Or you build everything from scratch (auth, storage, spam protection, dashboards…) Scaling, file uploads, exports, notifications — it all adds up fast For developers who care about control, privacy, and ownership, the current options are limiting. 🚀 The solution — Submify Submify is a fully self-hosted form backend stack that gives you everything you need out of the box: ⚡ Simple JSON form submission API 📊 Clean dashboard to manage submissions 🗂️ Export to XLSX / PDF 🔐 Secure API key-based ingestion 📦 File uploads with S3-compatible storage (MinIO/RustFS) 🔔 Optional Telegram notifications 🧱 Built with Go (Gin), Next.js, PostgreSQL, and Nginx All running behind a single entry point, deployable with Docker in minutes. 🎯 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. 👨‍💻 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 🙌 Would love your feedback This is just the beginning — I’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 🙏 Thanks for checking out Submify ❤️
