New tool alert!
I built html.contact for devs, designers, and freelancers who need a contact form without setting up a backend.
Create an endpoint. Paste the form URL. Receive submissions.
That’s it.
No SMTP. No Zapier. No server. No DNS setup.
Works with plain HTML, Astro, Next.js, Webflow, Framer, Carrd, WordPress, Shopify, and any site that can send a normal HTML form.
The free tier includes attachments, exports, up to 10 verified recipients, unlimited forms, CC/BCC fields, and API access.
Why I built this:
Getting form submissions into an inbox has annoyed me since the early 2000s. Ideally it would not take a backend, DNS setup, or a bunch of glue just to make a contact form work.
With all the static sites, client sites, and AI-built sites being shipped right now, I wanted something simple I could use over and over again.
Would love feedback from anyone building websites for clients or shipping quick landing pages.
If you try it and actually use it, DM me what you’re building. I’ll upgrade the first few Contra folks to lifetime Pro on the house.

Thanks! Framer allows native forms now yea? I haven't looked at it in a couple years...
Is there a use case for Framer in your opinion? Boiled down it is a url form endpoint and stores / emails submissions...

Goodbye sweet prince Fable 5.
On the other hand Codex 5.5 can still one-shot this hero landing.
This is cool
My client said, "I need a website that takes 5 seconds to impress a visitor" That was my only call to start right away!
Created this sleek, high-end WordPress website for my client who wanted a fashion brand that does not have just a pretty design but an experience. A website that looks premium, feels premium, and helps the brand stand out in a crowded market.
Clean visuals. Smooth interactions. Mobile perfection. Lightning-fast performance.
Need a website that sells while you sleep? Let's connect!
"Art with a performance" is a great brand line for a luxury art space. The dark, cinematic look in the video matches the positioning perfectly. Nice work delivering something that actually feels premium rather than just looks it.

Minor update: I finally got the QR Code scanner in the Check-In HUD tab to be fed live data from the current device's camera and the canvas needs to be alive.
Faced a few difficulties implimenting this, but I finally got it right.
The QR scanner had a critical bug: the scan function was wrapped in useCallback with [onScan] as dependency. The useEffect depended on [scan]. This created a situation where:
Every time onScan prop changed reference (which happens on every render since onScan is an inline arrow function), scan got recreated.
useEffect then re-ran, stopping and restarting the camera/scan loop.
This caused an infinite restart loop.
But more critically, the scan function was used as a useCallback but useEffect also depended on scan.
When the parent component passed a new onScan reference on each render, it triggered scan to be recreated, which then caused the effect to re-run and start a fresh camera stream every time. This created multiple overlapping streams and breaks the scanner functionality.
The solution was to move scan directly into the useEffect so it's not a separate dependency, and use a ref to store the onScan callback to prevent unnecessary recreations.
The root bug: scan was in useCallback([onScan]) and useEffect([scan]).
Next? I'll be fixing the register for event process (from the landing) and also the copy event link button at the top right corner of the event card modal, to display a link and ID needed by a user so they can be ale to find and register for an event.
