awesome work since the previous launch!
I had the opportunity to work with the team, and the least I can say is that these past few months have been *crazy.* we rewrote the app from scratch, introduced a new design system, and welcomed new contributors on board. what a ride!
go to documenso.com and experiment with this new, delightful signing experience. hope you'll enjoy it!
oh and it's open source. View source code: github.com/documenso/documenso
@fmerian Thanks Flo! It really has been a hectic few months and we're super proud of all the progress ๐
So how does the whole single player mode different from multiplayer? Doesn't multiplayer mean that it is auditable whereas Single player mode isn't auditable?
@kingromstar This singleplayer theme is mainly meant to describe quickly signing alone without an account and without your team/ colleagues. While having an account allows a bit more audit, the document is sealed in singleplayer just the same.
Singleplayer also hints at the fact that currently, the free plan does not have team members but will soon be part of "multiplayer". However, we will probably just call it teams.
But mainly, you are right: It's frictionless singing with less red tape for simple signing cases โ
We will also integrate this with the main app, making the transition seamless going forward, depending on what you need (signers, audits, etc.)
Congratulations to the whole @documenso team on their Product Hunt launch.
The tide is turning; open source is setting the course for the future, and proprietary software will have to adjust its sails. Keep navigating forward!
@documenso @mendorshikh Thanks MJ! We're determined to deliver and join the growing tide of C/OSS companies executing and delivering delightful software without all the nasty proprietary bits ๐
@documenso @mendorshikh thanks, MJ! These are some exciting times for open source for sure.
Hey everyone,
Thanks so much for all the support so far ๐โค๏ธ It's much appreciated, as we see all of you commenting and trying SP signing ๐
Here are a few cases, where we see singleplayer signing in the real world:
- Signing an NDA somebody sends you randomly and urgently as a PDF
- Quickly Signing a sales quota offer you send out
- Signing a school waiver for a kids excursion
What do you think about these cases?
What other cases can you imagine? Let us know ๐ก
Try out singleplayer signing here, if you haven't and let us know, what you think: https://documenso.com/singleplayer
@timur_ercan1 You can also use it for more mundane things like adding your details to a form from your local government or council or sealing your resume so third parties can't modify it when representing you for roles ๐
Love that I can point people to documenso for a quick sign if they need to sign this one pdf that hasn't been updated in 20 years ๐ฅฐ
Would love that you make this work with the looks scanned tool too ๐คญhttps://lookscanned.io https://github.com/rwv/lookscann...
Oh and is this signature happening on my device?
@dominik_kugelmann https://lookscanned.io is the most german thing I have ever seen :D We will offer an api/ embed soon that should do the trick. Currently, the signing is done on the server in every case, but we will move it to the browser for all possible cases when we can.
Love the idea. I need this tool for sure. Good luck to the development team with the launch and further development.
@gtsiramua glad to hear that! Let us know if you have any feedback after you use it. ๐
@gtsiramua Thanks @gtsiramua, we are just getting started. There is a lots of basic stuff still to build ๐
@_felx We had considered that but it would mean we need to dedicate a ton of time to catching fraud and abuse ๐ช
Right now we feel that a simple sign up with a card-less free plan is hopefully low friction enough for most!
@_felx That would be awesome. Sadly, Lucas is right: too much abuse potential. This is why we can't have nice things. We will make the transition seamless, though, and having an account if you send stuff makes sense anyway. We will keep an eye out, though. Could be a link you copy and share without account..
The tool is simple and neat. I love it โค Congratulation on the launch.
However, I wonder about the legal admissibility of a document signed in this way. There is no verification of identity, no digital signature of the document ... are these things planned?
@thibault_milan The document is sealed like the ones signed while logged in. This, of course, is just for signatures that require a basic level of signing, as most basic signing tools just place a signature, which is fine for nonregulated cases, i.g. no loan documents. For the EU, this means eIDAS level 1, Simple Electronic Signature. TLDR; it is a valid signature but not suited for high-value transactions. It's the equivalent of singing a printed doc alone at home.
As for the planning, singleplayer will be more integrated with the rest of the product step by step, making the transition seamless, depending on your singing needs. Most advanced cases profit greatly from features available with an account, so if you do something nontrivial, an account makes sense anyway.
Identity verification for the signer, without an account, is very interesting; we will look into if that makes sense. If it does, we are all for it, since it would mean less friction for simple cases.
@timur_ercan1 First, thanks for the detailed answer โค
Regarding auth with an account, my first though are either email/sms token. Or better, using KYC API to scan document and verify identity. That can be done under a minute and provide solid base to confirm identity.
@thibault_milan Thanks for the ideas, we are looking into those. Since SMS it not considered safe anymore, we are looking into mail and authenticators. The KYC Api will also come as part of our enterprise modules. There will be different flavors for different signing types eventually.
@mcnaveen Thanks so much, we think so too ๐ We plan to center the business around providing larger scale infra, casual singing should be as accessible and free as possible
@mcnaveen Thanks! We couldn't do it without contributors like you ๐ซถ๐ป
@mcnaveen Been thinking about it. It will probably be more of an enterprise case. Do you have another case in mind? We do, however plan to offer custom profiles like documenso.com/naveed for personal signing links ๐

Congrats on the launch, absolutely loved the free tier!
Do you have plans about the optional changing of the signature color? Or somehow scan the signature from an existing doc (I'm rather clumsy with a touchpad)?
@naou Didn't think about it much yet, open for ideas though :) Is the color just for sentimental reasons or something specific?
Not sure what you mean by "from an existing doc". You have your signature in your account, since it's "yours" why would you want it from another doc?
@timur_ercan1 About the color, it's a Vietnam flashback of communicating with some crazy bureaucrats who insisted that docs should be signed in blue
As for the scanning, I mean something similar to the Apple Preview function: you have a piece of paper and a crayon, you draw your signature, show the result to your laptop's camera โ voilร , now you have a saved signature. Although I find Apple's realization rather disappointing
@timur_ercan1 @naou We've certainly considered it but didn't feel it was top of funnel in terms of required features just yet!
Certainly something we will be considering for the future ๐
@timur_ercan1 @catalinmpit awesome work and congratulations to the entire team.
@david_bistiak Thanks David! We've put a lot of love and care into our new version to meet and exceed expectations!
@manmohit Thanks so much ๐ Did you give it a try? ๐ we love feedback..
@gipetto's signature is the same, but the signer is not verified (just minimally, as you only get the document to your email). This is why it's not meant for every case, but it's a lot easier for simple ones. e.g., I just signed some self-created receipts for the German tax office, so I don't have to print them (ugh) or use another tool, forcing me to create and account and/ or pay for it.
