Having build websites using HTML and CSS in the past, and having some basic experience with Javascript, this looked like a fun afternoon project. I am aware there exists many tools which generate forms for websites or even provide you a platform which hosts the form ( e.g., google-forms, which I used in the past), but I wanted to do implement it myself (…something to do with pride □ ). What started out with the intention of being an almost trivial exercise in building a web-form, turned into a steep learning curve about web-development and cyber-security. The art of learning something new: Do it from scratch A first step in this process entails making the application a bit more uniform: using an online registration form. To improve on the user-friendliness, I thought it would be nice to automate this a bit. This has the drawback that any future user needs to wait until I find the time to reply. I would then e-mail them the program, and add their information to a user list for future reference ( i.e., support and some statistics for my personal entertainment). Up until now, potential users had to directly send me an e-mail, telling me a bit more about themselves and their work. Recently, I decided to add a custom registration form to my website, as part of an effort to improve and streamline the “ HIVE-STM tool experience” □.
