About

Three quarter’s into first release, I discovered there already exists a plethora of Svelte form solutions. Oops. We’ll just call it reinventing the wheel or understanding/appreciating the wheel on a deeper level, whatever floats yer boat.

Sad Forms is a byproduct of another, much larger, passion project.

I’ve forgotten the initial solution Sad Forms was designed to solve, but accessibility is top priority! I am aware areas of the form can be improved, such as printable character navigation for dropdown/selects or live file previews, and I’m doing my best to deliver (because I also need it for my main passion project).

See the roadmap for list of upcoming features and the version logs.

Form Builder

Unless you’re somehow dynamically creating sign-up/log-in forms on the fly, feel free to utilize the online form builder tool to quickly create static forms. Diagnose and view changes live in the browser.

The form builder tool is rich with debug mode and type-check-free function previewing.
