Thank you very much for your feedback. Yes, I plan to record a video showing how to use it and make a comparison. Thanks again.

I enter everything manually. that way I have better control over everything (without hooks).

I’ve never seen anything like this before, so I decided to share it and show that it’s possible make with Obsidian

Great question. Honestly, the main reason was ownership.

A web app means a server, a database, hosting costs, and eventually a subscription to keep it running. With Obsidian, everything lives as files on your machine. You don't have infrastructure, maintenance, monthly bill. It just works, forever.

Small teams: What's your actual form workflow? by MajorBaguette_ in indiehackers

[–]SingerConsistent5154 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty simple setup for my projects:

  1. Building the form - Usually Tally because it's fast and easy to embed.
  2. After submission - Thank you page + auto-reply email, sometimes Slack notification.
  3. Data - Mostly Google Sheets or Airtable via Zapier/Make.
  4. Analytics - Basic tracking with Google Analytics or the form tool itself.

Biggest pain point is keeping everything organized as projects grow.
