custom domain functionality is a banger! And I really loved the collaboration with other tools.
Maker
that's also my fave feature :)
This is brilliant. I've been a fan of Docsend. And the custom domain functionality just adds the icing on top. Very curious though as to why you think Opensource is the right way to go here. Have you seen issues with Docsend's security?
The origin stories out of Twitter are almost always the best!
Maker
we didn't create Papermark because of a security policy at DocSend. More like, open-source gives you more insights into how the documents are being used. And furthermore, as any software gets more complex as it grows, open-source allows other people to fork it and add / remove what they feel is more important to their business.

Super excited to be a part of Papermark, and launch it today. I have been building companies and side projects last 4 years and learned how to code 6 months ago. So, I also just recently got into open source by building my first project using an existing open-source one. This is a whole new world, a fun new world. Papermark is close to my heart as I actively used Docsend as a founder. And always looked for a more fitting alternative for a number of reasons. But first of all because of lack of customization, lack of custom domain, and high pricing for the startup founders. So Papermark as an Open Source can be fully customizable, and more affordable. If there is a security reason you be able to host your documents on servers in the country you want.
congrats for your launch! Papermark, with its open-source nature, it puts the power back in your hands. It's making waves, and I'm excited to see where it goes on Product Hunt! 🚀📂🔒

Thanks Michele for the support! The open source wave cannot be stopped! We're glad to open-source Papermark from day 1 on GitHub!
Maker

💎 Pixel perfection
Maybe move the GitHub repo to an org account? Since it's kind of sensitive content the product is managing etc? I dunno. usually I dont care but since the product is important etc. And also maybe add some kind of international tracking regarding organisation number, adds more legitimacy and accountability?
Maker
great suggestion André! Will happen later this week along with the roadmap release :) > add some kind of international tracking Do you mean company registration number?
Yes. National or international. I know we had to convert our national to an international org nr when we got our apple org developer account for instance. A bit of work, but helps when people do due-dill. And people will as you want to avoid honey traps with these kinds of products. Also you can add it as a sales argument.
Maker
absolutely! The company already exists, need to add it in the right places to make it clear :)
Congratulations on the launch & . DocSend is too costly for me. I'm going to try Papermark soon.
Maker
Thanks for the support! That it 100% true. Papermark is free and can be also self hosted:) Check it:)
Maker
Thanks Sourabh for the support! Open source always wins over closed source.
agree that it can be too expensive, especially for startups, to pay for something like Do send.
Damn, this is cool. Nice work Marc. I feel like the name of the product should be PaperMarc 😄
Maker
Thanks Didier! That's missed opportunity with the name 😂
Maker
😂 That is what I also thinking, it would be more memorable:)
ahhaha indeed ;)
This will be really helpful for secure document sharing for documents that have a lot of sensitive data. I wish you success for your launch! All the best!
Maker
Thanks Shushant:) I think it can be valuable for both sending Pitchdecks and Sales Decks and track exactly what people do:)
Maker
100% agreed! That's why open-source is so important -- full transparency what happens with the document
Super Epic! Excited to send documents with actual good analytics
Maker
Thanks Omar! 🫶 Sending docs has never been more open 😉
Maker
So trueeee
analytics is always a tricky part in products, here it is implemented in such a neat way!
Congrats, I'm super excited for this project. Also, I'm a big fan of your hustle. Go get 'em champ!
Maker
The best in town!
Maker
Thanks Joseph! Lets continue hustle:)))
+1 to the fan base :)
I've been in Sales for 7+ years, Enterprise SDR at Zoominfo and other small startups. It was a hassle to use DocSend and so many other expensive tools over the years. Companies charging as high as $250/month for very similar features. Absolutely love Papermark! Congratulations on launching this 💙
Maker
YESSS thanks for sharing your sales experience! 100% agree and I believe with open-source we are on track to solve these pain points 🔥
Would love to see a roadmap soon :) (No pressure 🤞🏻)
Maker
This is so true Kalpesh!
Maker
will be up on GitHub later this week
Congratz Marc, this looks great! Gonna give it a try and perhaps reap off Docsend which is too pricy! 🚀
Maker
Thanks Tal 🫶 let's get more people to switch to open source
agree with you! It's definitely worth to try!
