Amazing, thanks I will take a look!
Hi Charalambos,
this is a useful tutorial. It helps making GitHub and GitLab pages more popular.
I would suggest an alternative to use formspree. Because contact forms without a captcha are crap. And paying for this feature 10USD/month I consider a bit overpriced. So how about hosting your own contact form backend? I created an open source project that does just that, including a complete ansible playbook for installation: just-code.io
Cheers,
Adam
Hello Adam,
If I'm not mistaken the captcha for Formspree is free. At least I'm using my form with captcha and I'm not paying anything. However i have looked at your project and looks very nice and well thought. When i have the time i will definitely replace my Formspree with your project
Sincerely,
Charalambos
Hi Charalambos,
I think you are right, just had a second look on formspree.io/plans. They write "All forms come with reCAPTCHA support", the missing dot in the feature list is about advanced spam filtering. So for users with less than 50 contact requests per month, their free tier maybe an option :)
Cheers,
Adam
Hello Adam,
Oh i see, yes you are right. I don't get 50 requests per month so it's suitable for me. But for people who will be frequently contacted then this is not suitable if they don't wanna pay. I will definitely see your project and contact you in the future on how to integrate it with my website. And also if you want we can write a new article together on github static pages and contact forms :)
Sincerely,
Charalambos

That's amazing 😀😀 congratulations 🎊 🎉

That was good but how to use file upload without paid service.
Let me be clear so I want to host a website in github with a form but I also want it to have a option for file attachment.
Now with Formspree I can do the text part but I cannot do the file upload part without a paid service. So is there a work around in this or any other services that offers my need.
Can you please help me with this I am stuck.

Thanks for the tutorial! This is gonna help me!
No problem 🙂 I'm glad I can help
Thanks. Very glad I found this. But I just tried Formspree and the form's email came from "Formspree noreply@formspree.io". Is that correct? Not very nice. Is there a way to change that? Thanks.
Yes, this is correct. Unfortunately you cannot change this because the user’s text is passed through formspree’s sever to create and direct the email to you. However this is just when you receive the email from a person. When you will reply back then the reply comes directly through your email address and not formspree.
Thank you and apologies for the late reply.
