Signew

The Problem

Anyone who needs a form signed - a clinic's consent form, a camp's waiver, a studio's release - is stuck between paper and bloated e-signature suites that charge per envelope and make the signer create an account. Paper gets lost and can't be verified. The suites are built for contracts, not for the person who just needs ten parents to sign by Friday.

What It Does

Signew turns a document into a link:

• Send a link - upload your PDF once, turn it into a reusable template, and share one link by text, email or a QR code on the wall
• They sign on their phone - no app, no account, under a minute. The signer is never asked to pay or hit a limit, whatever plan the owner is on
• You get a verified PDF - every signed copy is emailed to both sides, kept in your vault, and can be checked for tampering at a public verify page

Professionals use it on their own; organizations share templates across a team. There is also a personal tier: send a form to the Signew Telegram bot, fill it in by chat, sign, and share it.

How It's Built

Signew runs on Cloudflare Pages and Functions with Supabase for the database, auth and file storage. Marketing lives on signew.com and the product on app.signew.com, one project serving both hosts. Emails go through Resend on the signew.com domain, and billing runs on Stripe. The signing page is built for touch first: large tap targets, minimal scrolling and a canvas signature pad.

What I Learned

Signew taught me that the best product decisions are the ones you don't make. Every feature I said no to - user accounts for signers, multi-page waivers - kept the product fast and focused.

The hardest part wasn't the tech. It was resisting the urge to build a "platform" when what businesses actually need is a fast, reliable way to get a signature.
