Hi everyone, Alex here, one of the co-founders of DocuSeal.

We're using Ruby on Rails and Vue to build DocuSeal and it really helps us to stay lean and ship features fast while being bootstrapped.

Here is a short list of what the tool can do:

- Automatic eSignatures

- Multiple submitters

- 10 document form field types

- Emails via SMTP

- AWS S3, GCP, Azure Cloud files storage

- Open large files up to 500MB

I'm happy to answer any questions!

Best of luck. I think you need to answer two questions -- (i) how would you compete/compare against the likes of documenso.com and (ii) the usual legalities - authoritativeness, acceptance, etc.

In this highly competetive market we're currently more focused on things that we can do better like on-premises and embedding/API.

DocuSeal doesn't require any significant initial costs to be built - and then it comes only to our ability to build a great product to come over the competitors.

Regarding the compliance we're focused on simple eIDAS signatures for the EU and also we follow the UETA and the ESIGN Act.
