This is about as severless as "the cloud". There are still server just other peoples.

That doesn't make it useless, just misleading.

Edit - I guess I should be clear, this was a short rant about the term "serverless", not the product itself, which looks quite nice for static sites.

Fair point. My goal was to make something so that static sites that need a simple email or contact form don't need to setup anything serverside.

Calling it serverless when there is in fact a server feels weazily though. That taints your product.

I don't necessarily agree. The most popular usage of "serverless" is as a label for things like AWS Lambda.

Again, in that situation, there is a server, but it requires zero configuration by the user. This product has the same pros/cons.
