🚀 GateCrash Forms

CLI-first form builder that respects your freedom

We crash gates. We don't build new ones.

🎯 Status: MVP Complete | 52KB total | Ready for production

✨ Works with Kimi Claw - Install instantly from ClawHub's 5,000+ skill library

Philosophy: BYOK (Bring Your Own Keys)

GateCrash Forms is NOT a service. It's a toolmaker.

You control:

• ✅ Your SMTP server (email notifications)
• ✅ Your storage (form responses)
• ✅ Your deployment (host anywhere)
• ✅ Your data (no external servers)

No GateCrash accounts. No GateCrash servers. No gatekeeping.

🔒 Security First

New to GateCrash Forms? Read this first:

GateCrash Forms is open source and secure by design. Before using:

1. ✅ Verify the package: Source code at https://github.com/Phoenix2479/gatecrash-forms
2. ✅ Review SECURITY.md: Full security documentation
3. ✅ Test safely: Use test credentials first, not production passwords
4. ✅ Your data stays yours: No telemetry, no tracking, no external servers

IMPORTANT: Update example form emails ([email protected]) to your actual email address before using.

See SECURITY.md for full security practices and safe installation guide.

Configuration

Recommended Email Providers

For best results with automation, use agent-friendly SMTP:

• agentmail.to
• Resend

These services don't ban bots. Gmail/Google Workspace will.

You can use any SMTP server - configure it in ~/.gatecrash/config.json or per-form.

Global Config (~/.gatecrash/config.json)

Set up your SMTP credentials once:

node cli/gatecrash-forms.js config smtp.host smtp.example.com
node cli/gatecrash-forms.js config smtp.port 465
node cli/gatecrash-forms.js config smtp.secure true
node cli/gatecrash-forms.js config smtp.auth.user [email protected]
node cli/gatecrash-forms.js config smtp.auth.pass your-password

Per-Form Config

Each form can override global settings:

{
  "title": "Contact Form",
  "fields": [...],
  "submit": {
    "email": "[email protected]",
    "storage": "responses/contact.json",
    "smtp": {
      "host": "custom-smtp.com",
      "port": 587,
      "auth": {
        "user": "user",
        "pass": "pass"
      }
    }
  }
}

Form Schema

Create a JSON file with your form structure:

{
  "title": "My Awesome Form",
  "description": "Tell us what you think!",
  "fields": [
    {
      "type": "text",
      "name": "full_name",
      "label": "Your Name",
      "required": true,
      "placeholder": "John Doe"
    },
    {
      "type": "email",
      "name": "email",
      "label": "Email Address",
      "required": true
    },
    {
      "type": "scale",
      "name": "satisfaction",
      "label": "How satisfied are you?",
      "min": 1,
      "max": 5,
      "required": true
    },
    {
      "type": "checkbox",
      "name": "interests",
      "label": "Areas of interest",
      "options": ["Tech", "Design", "Business"]
    },
    {
      "type": "textarea",
      "name": "feedback",
      "label": "Additional feedback",
      "maxLength": 500
    }
  ],
  "submit": {
    "email": "[email protected]",
    "storage": "responses/feedback.json"
  }
}

We say NO.

• ✅ Full control
• ✅ No subscriptions
• ✅ No data farming
• ✅ No lock-in
• ✅ Open source forever
