I think of all the absurd businesses that shouldn't be lucrative, from selling barcodes to NFTs, you'd think "selling forms" wouldn't be, and yet there's no clean way to make a contact form for a website running on something simple like Github Pages.
I know how to work around this, but it's ridiculous, isn't it? And every "simple" form API service ends up being an oil tanker's worth of extras for having to justify being a paper-thin middleware that charges $10-$100 per month.
Can we do better somehow?

Contact forms are nobodies favorite thing. Marketing departments know that they are pretty low conversion with lots of spam, and customers see them as a way for companies to ignore them. Put this way: do you ever want to be shunted off to a contact form?
This is a solved problem more or less.
If you think that you can do better than google forms, and Microsoft whatever and the other 1,000 competitors in a space that is decades old, give it a shot.
