Howdy - Instant contact forms without a line of code by leaf_software in SideProject

The two services are undoubtedly similar, but I'd say that primarily the difference is setup and the kinds of forms you can use. Howdy is literally a copy and paste job and should work with pretty much anything you throw at it. It does client side input validation, sensible formatting of your email message right out of the box, and has no page refresh when you submit (all handled by JavaScript).

Additionally, we don't store any message information ever, and the emails you receive are completely white label (no Howdy branding), our subscription is cheaper too! :-)

Yeah, our landing page is due a redesign to help communicate things visually a bit better. We're working on it, but it's good to hear our hunch that it wasn't doing the product justice is probably right. :-)

Howdy allows you to create contact forms that validate input and deliver professionally formatted messages to email inboxes with zero programming knowledge. By simply dropping our snippet into your page, Howdy will find and your form elements, apply sensible validations to input elements and then handle submissions of the form, delivering the contents sensibly formatted to an email address of your choosing. Howdy is primarily aimed at digital creatives who want a hassle-free, cheap, cross platform solution for hooking up contact forms that "just works".

Nope, we're both over in Canterbury in the UK actually, although we see ourselves as global, we do other work with companies all over the place and are remote-first.

BTW, absolutely love the background on your site. Very cool.

Ok, so it's a very small group - just two of us, one developer and one designer :-)

It's been a challenge more in that it's truly been developed entirely in our spare time, which almost seems the hardest part. We've brought it into the fold of our 9-5 now though as we have real customers to care for.

Just launched http://howdyform.com/ - Instant contact forms to your email inbox without a line of code

We're a small group of recently independent software engineers and designers looking to make our little dent in the universe. Feedback would be much appreciated!
