Developers struggle to fit form tools into their app workflows

Developers want forms to work inside their own projects and framework workflows, rather than being tightly coupled to an external service or forcing them to give up existing form features. The clearest pain is among SvelteKit developers who want to adopt Remote Functions without losing Superforms and Formsnap functionality or writing integration glue. Static-site developers also want form tools to fit their generator pipelines.

For developers integrating forms into web apps and static sites. Mentioned from Aug 2024 to Sep 2025 on GitHub and Hacker News.

  1. We really want to start using Remote Functions but there is no way we can give up all of the features and functionality that Superforms (and Formsnap) provides
  2. Here is the current logic I'm using to integrate the current version with remote functions for anyone interested https://gist.github.com/sillvva/6515b65d85075133de7c2e533b730e98
