I don't like this landing page.

I read the intro paragraph. I would like to see what does it look like. I don't want to watch a video. I don't want to install it either. Just wanna get a glimpse of the UI.

None of the links looks like it could lead to some kind of preview.

On the plus side: this is "Fucking Awesome". I've been doing GIMP + scanned PNG of my signature.

On the minus side, your home page loads stuff from Vimeo over HTTP, not HTTPS. Please fix that.

Edit: Some usage notes:

First, loading a large document (40 pages) takes forever and there is no way to cancel it.

Second, there is no way to resize the signature image.

Third, my signature is scanned in blue ink. Why can't I use a non-greyscale image?

Forth, I happen to have a random contract here that is actually a .gif. Why can't I edit that even though I have the link to "Sign" it?

Otherwise, this is still "Fucking Awesome". Great job!

Great, congrats. The startup instructions are a bit weird. I think you should just get asked your signature if you don't have one and then ask you to install the extension. (I saw no link to ask to install the extension on the website. I'll recheck later on or search on the chrome extension website)

Agree, that is good feedback. Have a little zoomed-in picture of the "PDF View Download Sign" bit and you're golden.

Is this optional? I'd rather not have NDA'd contracts being backed up on a cloud provider, even if your legal page does look impressive.

Amazed how many people are loving this. Its cool for sure but its a feature to me, not a company. If it does want to become a company, that's possible, but digital signing software has been around for a while.

Hits a great pain point, but i hope there is a bigger vision.

It's optional in the API and you can manually delete from our site.
