Can I code DocuSign?

COPYDon't rebuild DocuSign for real, disputed-matters contracts — the product is the compliance trail, not the signature widget. For internal, low-stakes forms only, build this and label it clearly as informal: 1. Upload a PDF, and let a named recipient draw (canvas element, mouse or touch input) or type a signature. 2. Flatten the signature onto the document at a marked position using an existing PDF manipulation library (pdf-lib works well for this) — burn it into the page, not an overlay. 3. Email both parties the signed result as an attachment. 4. Append a plain-language log to the document: who signed, when, and the IP address the signature came from — genuinely useful for internal accountability, explicitly not positioned as a legal audit trail. That covers club forms, roommate agreements, and other genuinely low-stakes sign-offs — a real weekend project. Out of scope: anything where a disputed signature has real consequences. For occasional real contracts, use a pay-per-envelope e-signature service rather than either this or a full subscription — the compliance and legal-recognition work behind a real e-signature platform isn't something a build replicates.
