Building @formphantom on the side 👻

[Lorenzo Miscoli @lorenzo_miscoli]

I’ve been building a side project for the past year! 👻

During my evenings and weekends, I’ve been working on FormPhantom, a simple, developer-friendly form-to-email backend service.

FormPhantom is a privacy-first, European alternative created to offer fast performance, a clean modern UI, and zero backend boilerplate for developers.

What makes FormPhantom different?

🇪🇺 100% European: Designed in Italy and hosted entirely within EU data centers using European service providers, keeping all data strictly within the EU by design.

⚡ Developer First: Clean, plug-and-play form endpoints without dealing with backend boilerplate or complex SMTP configuration.

🛠️ Tech Stack: Java, Spring Boot & Angular.

While there’s still work to do before launch, it’s getting closer every day. Excited to start sharing more of the build process in public!

Al writes syntax in seconds.

Do you still care what programming language your project is built with, or do you only care about the underlying tech stack?

What's your current go-to?

@wtAngat @X Pleasure is mine

Feel the same. You feel like you're not being performant, at least not 100%. Still, I would do most of the things by hand, I mainly use AI as an assistant, generate boilerplate, setups or things that are repetitive. I try to do the deep thinking, this is what found to work best for me.

@andrewhoyer @loftwah Same, plus some websites are poorly optimised for mobile. And don't get me started with the infinite GDPR banners on mobile.

[Lorenzo Miscoli @lorenzo_miscoli]

@matviy Depends, offering a free plan with limited features is a way to get users using your product and potentially tell their friends about it

[Lorenzo Miscoli @lorenzo_miscoli]

@13_narcissus None of the above statements. Lack of motivation, that's it.

[Lorenzo Miscoli @lorenzo_miscoli]

@orskyai Spot on. Vercel helps you get started. It's easy to use but it can get expensive as you hit the limits. Hetzner is preferable if you know what you're doing in a Linux environment. If configured properly it can be pretty good.

[Lorenzo Miscoli @lorenzo_miscoli]

Are you deploying your side projects on Vercel, or on Hetzner?

What's your current stack?
