nForms is the form backend that replaces two tools developers are tired of gluing together: reCAPTCHA and manual ARIA accessibility code.
SHA-256 Proof-of-Work challenges run in the browser (~200ms). Invisible to users, computationally expensive for bots at scale. No cookies, no puzzles, no user interaction needed.
Composite scoring combines PoW verification, timing analysis, honeypot detection, and AI spam scoring.
Add data-validate="required|email" to your fields. nForms automatically injects aria-invalid, aria-describedby, role="alert", and manages focus on errors. WCAG 2.2 AA compliant, EAA-ready since June 2025.
All data processed and stored on Cloudflare Workers, D1, and R2 in Frankfurt. No US data transfers, no tracking cookies, no fingerprinting. GDPR by architecture, not by checkbox.

nForms.eu's answer:
nForms is in public beta. Early users are solo developers and small agencies in Germany building client websites. The contact form on nforms.eu is a live demo โ dogfooding the product.
nForms.eu's answer:
nForms is the only form backend that ships bot protection and accessible form validation in a single script tag. Most tools make you choose โ Formspree for the backend, reCAPTCHA for spam, then manual ARIA code for accessibility. nForms handles all three. Zero cookies, zero CAPTCHA puzzles, EU-only data storage.
nForms.eu's answer:
If you care about GDPR compliance, accessibility, or just hate cookie banners: nForms uses Proof-of-Work instead of CAPTCHA, so there are no cookies and no US data transfers. The same script tag also adds WCAG 2.2 AA validation automatically โ no hand-written ARIA code needed. Setup is one HTML attribute, not an npm install or backend integration.
nForms.eu's answer:
Web developers and agencies building static sites, landing pages, or JAMstack projects who need a form backend with built-in spam protection. Especially relevant for EU-based developers who need GDPR-compliant infrastructure and EAA-compliant accessible forms without extra tooling.
nForms.eu's answer:
I kept adding the same three things to every client site: reCAPTCHA (cookies, US data, consent banners), manual ARIA attributes for accessibility, and a form backend like Formspree. Each solved one problem but created new ones. I built nForms to replace all three with a single script tag โ Proof-of-Work for bots, automatic ARIA for accessibility, EU-only infrastructure for GDPR. Solo-built on Cloudflare Workers.
nForms.eu's answer:
Cloudflare Workers (Hono framework) for the API, Cloudflare D1 for the database, Cloudflare R2 for file storage โ all EU jurisdiction. Next.js for the dashboard and marketing site. SHA-256 WebWorkers for client-side Proof-of-Work computation. Resend for transactional email.
As a mini-blog, it is a nice alternative for Medium to publish and share information about programming.
However, the community and the organization are biased toward social justice (and they are open to it). You can read its Code of Conduct, it is so vague and politically leads (I prefer a term of service because it defines fair rules for everybody). So it alienates developers that we don't care about politics in pro of people that want to talk about any other topic such as sexuality, how women are unprivileged, and such. It even mandates to use inclusive language. Good grief.
My main complaint is the quality of the community. It is not StackOverflow (so we don't want to ask for an answer here), and most of the top topics are clickbait, such as "how to become a rockstar developer in ... days", "100 tips to become a better programmer" (and it doesn't even talk about programming).
Technically this "mini blog" site allows us to use markdown, and it is okay. However, the whole experience is really basic. Even the template is ugly.

And keep an exit. This is the argument I made about small models from a different angle: the same task that costs $14,000/month at frontier scale often costs approximately nothing on a 4B model running on your own hardware. Not for everything - for the long tail of focused, repetitive work that makes up most of what we actually automate. Knowing which of your workflows would survive a 10x price increase is cheap... - Source: dev.to / 7 days ago

That is the gap Arcade.dev is purpose-built to close. Unlike a routing gateway that simply proxies requests, Arcade is a full action runtime. It's a secure execution environment for production agents with per-user authorization, vaulted credentials, structured audit logs, and hosted tool execution.
