While working on my company I was having to reach out to contractors and content creators for their SSN, address, and bank info. Since none of them used Signal or PGP email, and we weren't comfortable adding a form into our existing product to store sensitive data, there was always some back and forth on trying to get that data avoiding email or text.

I was surprised that I couldn't find a solution to this in the wild, so I put VaultForm together to solve that problem for me. Then took it a little further to make it client-side encrypted so the server can't know anything important. This way anyone filling out a form can be assured their private information is safely transmitted, can't be viewed or leaked by the service, and don't need to sign up for a new service to do so.

They could drop off their info into a web server, like nextcloud request. It’s end to end encrypted. What’s the issue?
