    • Signing documents digitally is fast, easy and should be best practice for every document signed worldwide. This is technically quite easy today, but it also introduces a new party to every signature: The signing tool providers. While this is not a problem in itself, it should make us think about how we want these providers of trust to work. Documenso aims to be the world's most trusted document signing tool. This trust is built by empowering you to self-host Documenso and review how it works under the hood. Join us in creating the next generation of open trust infrastructure.

I'd say the main downside is that there does not seem to be a clear and detailed documentation and to join the community you have to join discord (non free software).

    https://www.docuseal.co/docs is really not extensive at all.

    For example I'm left with unanswered questions, like:

    • how to change date format?
    • what are the tags available to customize emails?
      etc

    So I'd say good, but non paying users I somewhat left in the dark a little. My impression only, I might be missing something.

So it was pretty appealing to me.

    Due to the lack of features, I gave DocuSeal another chance in the meantime, and now I am very used to it. I am not self-hosting, I even decided for a paid subscription. The author @docuseal is very response and added my feature requests in no time. Sticking with DocuSeal now.

Anyone know how this compares with docuseal?

Would be happy to see and use.

Do we know how it compares with Docuseal, and therefore on which app should packaging efforts be focused on?

Everything worked perfectly. The GUI looks very much like PandaDoc without any options. Right now, you can only add a date and signature field. The date cannot be formatted. Signatures can be added with mouse / touch or by just typing your name (unfortunately, this cannot be turned off). The feature set is extremely basic, but the project looks very promising. I'd love to have it available in Cloudron as soon as the staff decides it is safe to implement.

    You can test the current version at https://sign.adminforge.de
    This is a test instance. I've asked the admin if it's OK to share the link here. He is looking for testers that share their feedback (see https://adminforge.de/kontakt/).

The initial impression though is that the app, while functional, is a work in progress. Of course, they have written as much in the github page and also a warning that they are working "on a redesign of the application including a revamp of the codebase" .

    Perhaps, one of the biggest glaring issue for me is that there is only cert which is shared by the whole setup. The setup also allows anyone to register. This means anyone can sign up and sign with that cert. If you disable registration, there is no other mechanism to add users.

    So, promising app, but I think we are very early on this. Let's wait for a stable release. They do say "Note This project is currently under community review and will publish it's first production release soon™."

This app would be the first I guess 🙂

    Open source for the win! 💪

But it's a nightmare when it comes to GDPR. That would be my main reason to switch to a self-hosted software.

The nearest FOSS alternative I've found is LibreSign in Nextcloud. It mostly works but the interface isn't intuitive.

    Amazing how lacking this space has been all these years, but these guys creating seem to have recognised that.

    It's only been out a few days, but they seem to have momentum and an appreciation of UX needs. Definitely a valuable area to have solved, as I know 1st-hand that companies resentfully spend a fortune on Docusign for that one feature of signing PDFs.

    Good secure local processing alternatives I've also found are Qoppa PDF Studio (there's a one-off reasonable cost, and the free trial is fully functional with a very small removable/ignorable watermark stamp at the bottom) and Xodo (local browser processing for any feature that can be.
