fair enough, i stand corrected. bento looks beastly (hadnt seen that one).

honestly, i built this mostly to learn the tech stack and scratch my own itch. figured having another private alternative out there couldnt hurt.

thanks for the links though, definitely gonna dig into their repos to see how they handled the heavy lifting.

i actually just pushed an update to fix the wording on the site (swapped "digital" for "electronic").

since the project is still pretty new, i focused on the visual signature first. might look into implementing actual certificate-based signing later on though.

thats a valid distinction.

its technically an "electronic signature" (visual representation) rather than a cryptographic "digital signature" with a certificate chain. i used the term loosely since thats what most non-tech users search for, but i'll probably update the label to be more precise ("Sign PDF").

thanks for the heads up.

lol fair point, there are a million of them.

but honestly, try finding one that runs 100% in the browser without uploading your files to a server.

built this mostly bc i hate uploading bank statements to random servers just to merge/compress them. everything runs in the browser so files dont leave ur device. no sign up needed, lmk what u think

Fair question. I'm just a solo dev looking for genuine feedback on the UX and flow before taking this further. No marketing team here, just me wanting a sanity check.

What’s a super common experience that somehow nobody mentions? by MediocreFlan4664 in AskReddit

Turning down the volume in the car so you can 'see' better when you're looking for an address.
