Sound awesome but unfortunately it seems to not work if you don't use the US-English version of Gmail + even after I changed that I received the following message after hitting the "sign" link: "error: HelloSign couldn't parse your attachment."

Re: Introducing HelloSign for Gmail
#22On 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 u…
If I had to take a guess, a UX expert is not part of the core team and someone was probably contracted for the design.
The idea/product/execution are 90% AWESOME, but then the little UX neglects things like what's mentioned above + dull text (looks inactive) when you're writing in an active form field on sign-up, and a default dropdown of industry that you can't scroll down the bottom too in that same (3 field) sign-up form.
Take Igor's comments into account, and then hire a decent UX expert/consultant for 1-2 weeks (40-80 hours) and you've got a VERY viable product.

#23Trying this out. If it works as advertised, I'll be very happy.
By the way, maybe someone from hellofax can help me: I'm unclear on your international support. Can I get a local number for Israel for people to fax me to? I would love to switch to HelloFax instead of my current online-fax provider, but I'm not sure if this would work.

#24Does this mean it's a direct partnership with Gmail? If so that's pretty awesome. Or is it a plugin?
Re: Introducing HelloSign for Gmail
#25Really cool. But why do I get an email to "verify my email address" when you use Gmail's authentication APIs to link to my Gmail account in the first place?

#26This looks really cool.
A small respectful note: As a consumer, if I didn't know about Paul's financial connection to HelloSign, I'd have liked to seen it disclosed in connection with his prominent endorsement.
I hope this comment isn't taken as an attack on HelloSign or Paul; Paul is known as particularly ethical (thanks in part to his suggesting Google's motto), and I'm sure he really believes what he says in the quote, and this does indeed look nifty. All the more reason to have a little footnote somewhere: So no one can blow this up by claiming anything is being hidden.

Nice catch. That's a bit of overkill. We'll remove that.

#28Great competitor to Docusign's ink product, or gmail extension. Nice to see competition here; making it less painful to close contracts is helpful!

Joseph here, cofounder of HelloSign / HelloFax.
Thanks for the comment. Paul Buchheit is an investor, so he got an early view of the plugin. We were especially interested in his feedback, since he created Gmail.
As a company, we have made a conscious decision not to disclose our funding. But, for the purposes of transparency, we'd like to make clear that he's an investor.
Re: Introducing HelloSign for Gmail
#30This is exciting and headed in the right direction. I am definitely going to use this and provide a feedback. One of the things I am pressing on in 2013 is going paperless as much as possible.
I really liked their product video. Does anybody know how can we create such product videos? hire agency or something? can it be done in cheap and effective way?
