• self-host a docusign alternative
• send contracts for e-signature
• embed document signing into my app
• collect signatures from multiple recipients
• digitally sign agreements with audit compliance
• replace paid e-signature tools

When to choose

• you need an open-source, self-hosted e-signature platform you can audit
• you want to embed signing workflows into your own product via API
• you want to avoid per-signature costs of proprietary tools
• you need PAdES-style PDF signatures with PostgreSQL-backed storage

When to avoid

• you need certified legal compliance in jurisdictions requiring specific accredited providers
