@mfts0 custom domain functionality is a banger! And I really loved the collaboration with other tools.
@mfts0 This is brilliant. I've been a fan of Docsend. And the custom domain functionality just adds the icing on top. Very curious though as to why you think Opensource is the right way to go here. Have you seen issues with Docsend's security?
@viks_rum we didn't create Papermark because of a security policy at DocSend. More like, open-source gives you more insights into how the documents are being used. And furthermore, as any software gets more complex as it grows, open-source allows other people to fork it and add / remove what they feel is more important to their business.
@mfts0 I see. Having come from the world of DAOs, I've often seen most open-source contributions not adding significant value. Hey, but that said, I'm pro-Open Source myself. Very curious as to how you think about revenue when it comes to opensource projects?
💎 Pixel perfection
Maybe move the GitHub repo to an org account? Since it's kind of sensitive content the product is managing etc? I dunno. usually I dont care but since the product is important etc. And also maybe add some kind of international tracking regarding organisation number, adds more legitimacy and accountability?
@sentry_co great suggestion André! Will happen later this week along with the roadmap release :)
> add some kind of international tracking
Do you mean company registration number?
@mfts0 Yes. National or international. I know we had to convert our national to an international org nr when we got our apple org developer account for instance. A bit of work, but helps when people do due-dill. And people will as you want to avoid honey traps with these kinds of products. Also you can add it as a sales argument.
@sentry_co absolutely! The company already exists, need to add it in the right places to make it clear :)
Congrats on the launch @mfts0! I love the idea of being able to customize the experience of sharing documents securely and having more control. I wonder if there would be demand for a white-label type solution that gives customization and control, but isn't open source. Speaking as a non-technical founder, I'd find that incredibly useful. Best of luck!
@mariakova Great question. We do offer a hosted version on papermark.io where you can also set up custom domains so that your recipients see example.org/deck instead of papermark.io/deck.
That's the easiest way of "white-labeling" that we can offer out of the box.
Huge congrats to the team! Building an alternative to DocuSend is no small feat. Can't wait to see where this journey takes you and how it reshapes the way we send documents!
oss ftw!
@psanders thanks Pedro! was so fun on your twitterspaces the other day! Let's do it again and let's rebuild the world with open source ❤️
woah, this is a brilliant product.
Have to love that it's open source too.
Will be keeping this in my pocket next time I need to share a confidential document 🔒
Sounds so helpful and easy to use at the same time! Thank you for serving this tool as an Open Source!
@xeniagoron Ksenia, open source has given us so much that we want to give back what little we can!
It was a natural decision to open source Papermark from day 1.
We focus on ease of use and key interaction in this major release but we have a full roadmap planned 🚀
@mfts0 completely agree with you regarding the Open Source approach. No doubt, you will achieve set goals :)
really awesome tool. especially running on a custom domain is a cool addition!
i see a lot of design inspiration taken from @calendso too which is dope!
@calendso @peer_rich Of course, OG calendso – never forget :) thanks for the support Peer 🤗
Here's the corrected version:
Congrats on the launch, @mfts0 & @iuliia_shnai 🎉.
I just tried it out and the experience is awesome. Best wishes! Open Source FTW.
@mfts0 - doesn't seem to be a way to delete documents. :/ How can I do this?
Awesome build! Love this OSS solution. UI is clean and simple and provides massive value to other startups.
Great work @mfts0 !
@nevo_david Heyo Nevo! Thanks for showing your support ❤️ anything is possible with open source
Congratulations on the launch @mfts0 & @iuliia_shnai . DocSend is too costly for me. I'm going to try Papermark soon.
@mfts0 @sourabh_upreti
Thanks for the support!
That it 100% true. Papermark is free and can be also self hosted:)
Check it:)
@sourabh_upreti Thanks Sourabh for the support! Open source always wins over closed source.
@sourabh_upreti agree that it can be too expensive, especially for startups, to pay for something like Do send.
Super excited to be a part of Papermark, and launch it today.
I have been building companies and side projects last 4 years and learned how to code 6 months ago.
So, I also just recently got into open source by building my first project using an existing open-source one.
This is a whole new world, a fun new world.
Papermark is close to my heart as I actively used Docsend as a founder.
And always looked for a more fitting alternative for a number of reasons.
But first of all because of lack of customization, lack of custom domain, and high pricing for the startup founders.
So Papermark as an Open Source can be fully customizable, and more affordable. If there is a security reason you be able to host your documents on servers in the country you want.
@iuliia_shnai congrats for your launch! Papermark, with its open-source nature, it puts the power back in your hands. It's making waves, and I'm excited to see where it goes on Product Hunt! 🚀📂🔒
@iuliia_shnai @michelepomposo Thanks Michele for the support! The open source wave cannot be stopped! We're glad to open-source Papermark from day 1 on GitHub!
@juanfrank77 Thanks Juan! Really appreciate your support:)
Happy to continue sharing and exchange ideas:))
