A few 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.

I put real effort into learning and using the programs, giving my light-hearted but heartfelt assessment of its form and function for both its time and today. Using the softwar…

This is super cool. If it was RSS enabled I'd immediately add it to my feed!

I recently launched a casual math game!

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pipipie.game

It's currently only available on Android but I hope to bring it to other platforms soon.

I am a disabled developer who has limited mobility in his arms. I like treating games that are simple and accessible for people just to spend time.

Would love to hear any comments or suggestions!
