Haychdev Forms

Haychdev Forms is a form builder plugin designed for WordPress that emphasizes privacy by ensuring all visitor data remains on the site. It addresses the need for creating and managing forms without involving external services or third-party scripts, keeping submissions stored exclusively in the site's own database. Notification emails are handled through WordPress's built-in mailer, and no part of the public-facing pipeline communicates with outside servers.

The plugin offers a block-based form builder that utilizes native field types, including text, email, phone, textarea, select, checkbox, and file upload. The file upload feature supports MIME allow-listing and enforces a maximum file size limit. To enhance data security, Haychdev Forms applies per-field AES-256-GCM encryption at rest, with encryption keys that never leave the site. Spam protection is incorporated through honeypot fields and HMAC-signed time-trap mechanisms. Submissions can also be made via a REST endpoint, which includes server-side validation.

For site administrators, Haychdev Forms provides an entry viewer within the WordPress admin interface, allowing detailed review of individual submissions, filtering by status, and performing bulk actions such as deleting entries, marking them as read, or flagging them as spam. Email notifications are sent using WordPress's wp_mail function and can be configured to reach a specified site address.

Delivered as a WordPress plugin, Haychdev Forms is intended for site owners and administrators seeking a privacy-focused form solution that integrates directly with the WordPress ecosystem.
