Show HN: Feathery – build powerful, developer-friendly forms

bo-dun|3 years ago

Hey HN – I'm Peter, Founder & CEO of Feathery.

One year ago I was working as a growth engineer at Robinhood, where my team needed a better way to build and improve complex forms for use cases like signup, onboarding, and applications.

Last week, we opened up public access to Feathery, a low-code platform enabling product teams to build powerful, developer-friendly forms. It’s complete with a Webflow-like visual editor, a flow builder that supports advanced conditional logic, powerful integrations like Plaid and Firebase, and open-source embed libraries with extensible APIs.

If you’re part of a product team or startup looking to build better forms, you can get started with Feathery right now for free. I’d love for you to take a look at the platform, share questions and feedback, and I’ll answer those here today.

Is it possible to pipe data from the forms directly to custom API endpoints and control the shape of the JSON payload that is sent?

bo-dun|3 years ago

Yep! You can connect to custom API endpoints from the dashboard or add custom code via our embed SDKs https://docs.feathery.io/develop/react/onsubmit

Would love to try this out. Quick question: I have my own design system, so how would I use it with a Feathery form?

bo-dun|3 years ago

You can use your design system in two ways. 1. You can import your design system into Feathery via Themes, which apply cascading styles for different elements (https://docs.feathery.io/platform/build/themes) 2. You can apply custom CSS styles and classes directly to the form and its components via our embed SDK (https://docs.feathery.io/develop/react#form)

This is super cool! What kinds of security/risk safeguards do you have for form data?

bo-dun|3 years ago

We're SOC2 and HIPAA compliant, with our data encrypted at rest and in transition.

How do I send my form data to my own database?

bo-dun|3 years ago

We offer native database integrations (https://feathery.io/integrations/postgresql). You can also send the data to your backend directly from our embed SDK (https://docs.feathery.io/develop/react/onsubmit).
