Some months ago, I saw a tweet from @awilkinson: “I just found out how much we pay for DocuSign and my jaw dropped. What's the best alternative?” Me being naive, I thought “how hard could would it actually be to build a free e-sign tool?”

Turns out not that hard.

In about a weekend, I built a UETA and ESIGN compliant tool. And it was free. And it cost me less than $50. Unlimited free e-sign. https://useinkless.com/



What's UETA and ESIGN? What's preventing you from just drawing your signature on top of a PDF?


If the tool doesn't adhere to those standards, the resulting signature isn't legally compliant (at least, not in a way that satisfies corporate structures).


What does legally compliant even mean here? I can print a document, scribble on it with a pen, and scan it and that's legal, so how high can the digital bar be?
