Every developer building a portfolio site hits the same wall.
You spend hours getting the design perfect. Clean layout, smooth animations, great project section. Then you add a contact form and suddenly you need a backend just to receive an email.
So you look for solutions.
FormSubmit is free and works, but the UI is embarrassing. No dashboard, no customization, and the spam never stops. Your inbox becomes a war zone.
Formspree is actually decent. Until you see the pricing. $10/month for 200 submissions. 200. For a portfolio site that gets maybe 50 visits a month. That math does not work.
So I built UnStatic.dev
One API key. No backend. No SDK. No config. Your form works.
It has bot protection that silently catches spammers and bans their IP permanently. Rate limiting so you never get flooded. Gmail digest that sends your submissions at 9 AM and 6 PM like a normal person. And Telegram alerts when you want something instant.
Free to start. 100 submissions per month. No credit card.
If you have ever built a static site and felt this pain, try it.
Currently in beta. Feedback welcome, roast it if you want.
