Thanks for checking it out. Is it possible something went to your spam folder? I don't have enough data yet to know how spam filters are going to handle these emails.
Re: signatures, they're not saved in the browser at all (yet), and they exist on the server in the form of temporary files that are deleted after the final email is sent. As it exists right now, the solution is "security-free." Don't use it for anything sensitive.
That raises an interesting idea - maybe I can have v2.0 generate and send the final PDF directly from the browser. You would still have your signature in a PDF going over email. Until I add optional "sign in" and secure download, the email aspect is going to be a weak point.
As you mention, if you're on OS X, Preview is the best software-based solution I know of. Even there, it seems like every time I try to stamp a PDF with Preview something goes wrong. This solution also removes a few steps even from that workflow--namely any concept of dealing with files and their location--and works basically the same on most devices.
Thanks again, I appreciate your feedback.
- stephenr 11y agoMy main concern would be the signature sitting somewhere for someone to grab and apply to documents. In theory they can do that from a pdf too but it's much simpler if they have the original vector of the signature. I can't say I've had issues with preview signatures for a while - I have a signature and initials captured and they pretty much just work. It would be nice to be able to suggest something to people without that option though (eg Windows using clients) - any chance you'd open source it to allow self-hosting?
- eschutte2 11y agoYes, I will open source it. I just need to get mail server integration and a sane install process nailed down first.
