Very nice and easy to use product. Loved that you provided an live version to try it without any signup wall or anything.

Also won't DocuSign accuse you of "misleading" their customers by using a name that is "too similar" to their ?

Docuseal would be the winner with all the free press, and changing a name costs almost nothing.

It does seem on somewhat dangerous ground for "trademark similarity testing", "consumer perception", etc...with "docu-<next word starts with S>".

I'd have gone with "DocSeal" or something that was a harder break from the "DocuSxxx" pattern.

Thanks for pointing this out - it actually didn't expect that because of GitHub and GitLab and i haven't hears any trademark dispures between them. When Gitlab differs from Github by only 2 letters - DocuSeal vs DocuSign is already 3 letters.

But i think that's a valid concern and i need to better investigate this - changing the name shouldn't be a problem when the project is still very new.
