The web's missing Forms API
summary
Claims a concrete Forms platform: a logic-only React library called formic with a backing service formic cloud that provides a single-table submission store, prebuilt cloud actions (Zapier, email, Slack, serverless), an embeddable API endpoint (no iframe) and a builder that uses your own React components. Shows a working demo, 27 million npm downloads and ~82k stars, incremental adoption, validation and conditional logic, and live submissions to Slack and CSV export.
