Signing is the one domain *everyone* uses. Signing employment contracts, sales deals, tax forms, signing investment docs, NDAs, LOIs, and SLAs... Maybe even signing autographs at some point :D The list is endless. Such a crazy opportunity to build .

Best advice I every got from @peer_rich (and there was a lot) is: Don't celebrate external validation (funding, hype etc.). Celebrate internal achievements (shipping, launching, reaching milestones) instead, because thats the actual driver of success.

Open Source is not just about code under AGPL or MIT (though you should do that too). It's about collaborating, listening, and letting people in and do their thing. It's not just about ownership and being able to fork away. It's about creating solutions that solve more for many.

Some of the german devs I know consider Documenso boring because digital signing is not new. I disagree obviously. Getting a product right on more dimensions than the status quo is exiting and actual innovation. It's a philospical question mostly, we will still build oss signing.

Docusign just admitted that they use customer data (i.e., all those contracts, affidavits, and other confidential documents we send them) to train AI . There also doesn't appear to be a way to withdraw consent, but I may have missed that.

The march to worldwide compliance starts here. Documenso will be a signing compliance framework for any jurisdiction or case. It will take some time, tho. What's important is that the compliance results are public, so nobody has to do the same work ever again.
