This release also adds a new Flow page, where you can see your form’s full workflow. We’re also introducing Rules: security checks that block malicious or invalid submissions. You define the structure your form must follow; anything that doesn’t match is rejected.

100

The Files page lists every upload, but each file still belongs to its submission. Open a submission to see exactly which files were attached.

101

Each form now has its own Files section. Upload common file types, then delete, download, or manage every file submitted through that form, all in one place. File uploads are off by default. Enable them in each form’s settings; otherwise, submissions with files are rejected.

Introducing Basestack Forms 2.0 🚀 This release lets you upload files on any form and set submission rules for tighter control and security. Read the posts below for the details.

Organizing feature flags by project just hits different 🔥 One clean card. Every environment (dev → staging → prod) right there in a single view. No tab-hopping. No guessing. Instant control. That’s how progressive delivery should feel.

Quick poll 👇 Do you use feature flags in production? 🟢 Yes, all the time 🟡 Sometimes 🔴 Rarely ⚫️ Never Reply with why. I’m genuinely curious what’s stopping most people.

Pro tip for fullstack devs: Use feature flags not just for releases, but for: - Gradual rollouts - User targeting - Dark launches - Quick kill switches Changes how confidently you can ship. What’s one use case you haven’t tried yet?

Hot take: You don’t need a massive feature flag platform to get 80% of the value. Unlimited flags, clean SDKs, instant rollbacks, and usage-based pricing is usually enough for most teams. That’s what we’re focused on with Basestack.

000

Vitor Amaral @vitoramaral.co · 15/07/2026

Start with kill switches. The first feature flag most teams should add is one that can instantly disable a risky feature in production. Saved us multiple times already. What would be your first feature flag if you added one today?

Quick question: How do you currently handle forms in your projects? A) Custom backend B) Third-party service C) Still copy-pasting old code Reply with your setup. Curious what most people are using.

Most form tools either feel too basic or too expensive once you scale. We built Basestack Forms to sit in the middle Unlimited forms + submissions, spam protection, webhooks, and a clean dashboard. All while staying simple to set up. What’s missing in your current form tool?

Vitor Amaral @vitoramaral.co · 14/07/2026

Teams support in both Feature Flags and Forms. Invite people, set permissions per project, and still only pay for what you use. Been using it internally and it already removed a lot of friction. Small but useful win this week.

Dogfooding your own tools is the fastest way to find real problems. We’ve been using Basestack Flags and Forms while building Basestack. Found multiple UX and edge case issues we would’ve missed otherwise. Highly recommend it if you’re building dev tools.

Tired of full redeploys just to test one new feature with beta users? We can now: • Deploy code safely • One-click rollback if anything looks off • Run real experiments without extra tools What’s one feature you’ve delayed shipping because of deployment risk? 👇

Hydration helpers in the Basestack React SDK. No more flash of wrong UI when using feature flags with Next.js Server Components. Took a couple tries to get right, but the DX feels much better now. If you’re using React + feature flags, this should help.

Spam protection on forms shouldn’t require extra services. With Basestack Forms you get built-in spam filtering + clean submission logs out of the box. Point your form at our endpoint and you’re done. Anyone else tired of spam in their form submissions?

Feature flags are excellent for code behavior, but schema changes need a migration strategy. The flag controls which code path runs, not the schema itself.

010

No, don’t keep duplicated columns long-term. For splitting Name → FirstName + LastName: • Add new columns + backfill data • Use the feature flag to control which columns your app reads/writes • Drop the old column after the feature is stable This keeps things clean while allowing easy rollback.

Biggest lessons so far: - Start with kill switches for risky features - Use descriptive flag names + clean up old ones - Don’t over-engineer early This is how modern teams (and smart indie devs) ship confidently.

How to start (works with any stack): Use something lightweight like Basestack Feature Flags. We have SDKs for vanilla JS and React. Basic flow: - Init client with your project + environment key - Check flag value - Conditionally render or run logic Took us under 30 lines

We wanted to test a new bulk export feature. Instead of deploying and hoping: 1. Created flag “bulk-export-v2” 2. Deployed code (flag off) 3. One-click rollback when we spotted an edge case 4. Fixed → enabled for more users Zero downtime. Zero angry users.

100

Old way (painful): - Build feature - Deploy to prod - Cross fingers - If broken → emergency deploy or revert New way (with flags): - Build feature behind a flag - Deploy anytime safely - Monitor + instant rollback if needed Deploy ≠ Release anymore.

I used to hate shipping new features. One bad deploy = rollback stress + support tickets. Then we started using feature flags the right way. Here’s the exact approach that let us move much faster (and sleep better) while building Basestack 🧵

That Friday afternoon deploy feeling… You merge, cross your fingers, and spend the weekend checking logs. Feature flags turned this into “ship it behind a flag and enable Monday”. Huge difference in stress levels. Anyone else still deploying without safety nets?

000

Remote config is one of the most underrated parts of feature flags. Change text, limits, or behavior in production without touching code or deploying. We use it constantly while building Basestack. What value in your app would you love to update instantly?

000

Vitor Amaral @vitoramaral.co · 09/07/2026

Feature flags let you deploy code without releasing it. Ship on Monday, enable for your team on Tuesday, roll out to users on Thursday. No more “let’s hope this deploy doesn’t break anything” energy. What feature are you currently scared to ship?

000

Remote config via feature flags is underrated. Instead of redeploying for every small change, you can update behavior instantly. We use this for things like: - A/B test variants What’s one setting in your app you wish you could change without deploying?

What’s your biggest bottleneck right now? A) Forms & backend B) Safe feature releases C) Collecting user feedback Reply below 👇 I read every comment. Let’s talk tools! #BuildInPublic #IndieHackers #SaaS

We’re on a mission to help product teams build faster and launch smarter. Forms + Feature Flags (Feedback tool coming soon) all in one stack. Ready to try it? → basestack.co

Basestack highlights: • Simple & clean dashboard • Transparent pay-as-you-go pricing ($5 credit to start) • Built for developers who hate complexity

Why teams & indie hackers love it: - Launch faster (no more "hope it works" deploys) - Reduce risk dramatically - Perfect for A/B testing, beta features, kill switches - Scales from solo dev → startup → enterprise

Problem #2: Feature Flags You want to test in production safely, but branching + redeploying is painful. Basestack Feature Flags lets you: • Toggle features for specific users/environments • Activity history • SDKs for JS/React + API • Remote config without redeploys

100

Real example: A marketer collects leads → automatic thank-you page → data lands in Basestack → export to your CRM. All with HTML or JavaScript. Takes < 5 minutes.

100

Problem #1: Forms You build a beautiful lead/survey form… then spend a weekend wiring up a backend. Basestack Forms fixes this: • Just point your <form> action to our endpoint (no server needed) • Spam protection + email notifications • Dashboard to manage everything

100

Most devs waste hours on: - Setting up form endpoints - Server-side code just for submissions - Scary feature releases that can break production What if you could solve both with one developer-first platform? Meet Basestack → basestack.co

Tired of risky deployments and messy form backends? Here's how we fixed both in one platform. 🧵
