Netlify Forms

This walks Claude through implementing Netlify's form handling, which is honestly one of the simpler ways to collect form submissions without spinning up a backend. The guide covers the basics like adding data-netlify="true" to your forms, but more importantly it handles the tricky SSR framework case where you need a static HTML skeleton file for React, Next.js, and similar setups, otherwise submissions silently fail. It also covers the gotcha that in SSR apps you have to POST to the skeleton file path instead of "/" or your framework intercepts it. Includes AJAX patterns, file uploads (8MB limit), spam filtering with honeypot fields, and the submissions API if you need programmatic access.
