Sending (form-)mails from static websites with Go

1

Hugo

Even though this worked pretty well, over the years I started to dislike Wordpress. Also with all the needed plugins, the site became horribly slow (4-5 seconds per requests - I’ve never really figured out which plugin caused this slowness). So eventually I decided to replace the Wordpress with a static page generator: Hugo.

Formspree.io

So I had to use JavaScript and some kind of form mailer to send contact form requests. There are 3rd party services like https://formspree.io/ that are specialized on this, but since I don’t wanna invest money just to send forms and I also don’t trust the data privacy of such services (GDPR is a big thing in the EU you know 😉), I decided to write my own little web service for it.
