 Can formstr deal with fake responses? For example bots just sending answers, since there are not pow, catcha, payment or challenge to resolve involved

 That’s been my no.1 point of brainstorming, and there are multiple ways we could deal with spam (for example signing a form with your own nsec) or a paywall(Zap to fill form)  atm there is no spam protection, but this is soon going to be a top priority for formstr once users(And by correlation spam) starts rolling in.

 Have you thought in nip98? Can be a good first approach, but don't know if can be enough

 Interesting, didn’t think of auth to prevent spam, my thought process was to not limit spam, but filter it out by detection, thereby leaving little incentive for anyone to spam. 

And it could pbe done client side itself.

 Yea defo, think that client side can be good enough to prevent spam. I think it is important to try to have accurate results in fors, I think it is essential for it to accomplish its function as a forms application. If it is reliable, people will be able to use it more seriously for their forms.

In any case great initiative! 👏👏👏
