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.
Dotkernel API is a PHP REST API application built on top of Mezzio microframework , using Laminas components. DotKernel API is an alternative for legacy Laminas API Tools (formerly Apigility) applications
nForms.eu DotKernel APInForms.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.
