It's been one month since we
[launched](https://thoughtbot.com/blog/introducing-formkeep)
[FormKeep](https://formkeep.com) and we've received great
feedback! People are loving it and have used it for all sorts of forms, from
sweepstakes entries, to conference signups, to pre-launch landing pages.

We've protected our users from over 14,000 spam submissions and saved them time
setting up database backed web apps and admin interfaces. But we haven't stopped
there. Since launching, we've been hard at work implementing the following:

* Email notifications.

    One of our goals with FormKeep is to keep it slim, but allow for maximum
    flexibility. We are able to do this through webhooks, which give users the
    power to use their data in any way they want. That being said, our most
    requested feature was email notifications. Our customers don't want to go
    through the extra step for something that seems intrinsic to the
    application. We agreed and have since launched the feature. If you already
    have a form set up, you can enable notifications on the form's edit page.

* Cross Origin Requests. You can now submit data with JavaScript for more
  control over the user flow.
* A [default redirect page](https://formkeep.com/thanks) to make creating forms
  even faster.
* A simplified onboarding flow and clarified payment model.
* A [FAQ page](https://formkeep.com/faq) to answer common questions
* Bug fixes

Please [reach out](mailto:support@formkeep.com) if you have questions or
feedback. We love hearing from everyone.
