It is a powerful product.

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 4y 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 https://docs.feathery.io/develop/react/onsubmit

This is super cool! What kinds of security/risk safeguards do you have for form data?
- bo-dun 4y ago
  We're SOC2 and HIPAA compliant, with our data encrypted at rest and in transition.

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.

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 4y 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 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 https://docs.feathery.io/develop/react#form)

How do I send my form data to my own database?
- bo-dun 4y ago
  We offer native database integrations (https://feathery.io/integrations/postgresql 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 https://docs.feathery.io/develop/react/onsubmit).
