Ask HN: Why is hosting a contact form so difficult?
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?
