A free DocuSign/e-sign alternative https://useinkless.com/

Andrew Wilkinson tweeted the other day "I just found out how much we pay for DocuSign and my jaw dropped." https://x.com/awilkinson/status/1892638803505868824

So I thought "how hard could this be?" and decided to build a free alternative that's UETA and ESIGN act compliant!

We’ve been working on a lightweight tool to help small teams and individuals manage and publish content across multiple social platforms — currently focusing on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. Most tools we’ve tried are either too bloated, too expensive, or limit you to one or two accounts per platform. We’re aiming for something simpler: connect multiple accounts (free up to 3 per platform), schedule posts, organiz…

I am using Buffer and so far it is working well for me (arts/programming). Maybe offer a comparison in your site or somewhere else when your product is ready. Good luck.

https://www.saintbeluga.org/ I was a YC founder in 2006 and still do software engineering and data science full-time, but on the side I also do Christian apologetics, helping fellow engineers/scientists/mathematicians seek answers to life's deepest questions. Some cool articles for the HN crowd: - My interview of Evan O'Dorney, a three-time Putnam Fellow and two-time IMO gold medalist, who converted to Catholic Chris…

All conspiracies's enemy is logistics. And yet for these eucharist miracles, the logistics are simple. They all have a clear and obvious point where foul play could be inserted, where the complicit number of people can be brought down to just 1. You may not like this explanation, but it's one people will rightly use to counter it. 'Why would people lie' is a pointless exercise. They would. Each person has a different story, intent, motivation.

Anyway I just read the first one, but I'm aware of these miracles some time ago. I don't think it has outward persuasive powers catholics think they do. It sounds trivial and specific. It's also so clearly some growth to me. You got the wafer, you got contamination, and you put it in a container with water. Of course, then they would find a separate heart tissue to send to the scientists.

(Also unrelated, but it's kinda funny. Catholics would be saying it's the literal body of Christ. And they they dropped it to the floor and went 'well, I can't eat that'.)

Social voting site Where people will discuss and vote about social issues, which could be general, regional, environmental, politics, science, IT, etc.

Here every users votes are weighted, means it's not necessary that every user votes count equal to one, may be it will be less than one or in negative also.

Algorithms is very complex and I'm figuring it out.

Currently at ideation stage and soon start the development.

I'm working on this idea to make sure my platform present a clear view about the topics from general public's.

Have you given any thought on how you'll combat bots and AI manipulating results or even public opinion (a la that one subreddit)?

Oh man please make this open source! I'd love to host it in a container.
