So glad that there's competition to Docusign here. Of course the real product that Docusign sell is trust – trust by people signing and enforcing those contracts. At a time when digital signatures were inherently untrusted, they did well to give them a necessary sense of authenticity.
Will this feature have that same trust? I don't know, but I'm not sure it's even necessary anymore, today there's an inherent expectation that these sorts of things happen digitally anyway, so nowhere near the same barriers to making the signature stick.
Looking forward to not using Docusign next time I sign a contract at work, or perhaps using a better Docusign that has been forced to improve their UX next time I sign a tenancy or something.
