Today's Idea: Embeddable web forms, accessible via API

Well, even if I'm a software developer, I like drag & drop, and creating forms without many hasle.

Most of the time I write some new app (hobby), it doesn't get too big: some admin panel, few forms, few tables I need to do over and over same work: tables, models, validators, forms, handle errors....boring stuff.

I want to create a service (if it doesn't exist already) that would allow me to create forms via a web interface (form builder), allow some post submit actions (hooks or something) and get the data via an API.

Data could be stored on service's servers and deleted anytime a delete command is issued via API or web interface.
