Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I’m Favor Kay, creator of Handshake. ### 💡 The Spark (Why I Built This) A few months ago, a close friend and I agreed on a simple side project split over coffee. No lawyers, no fancy corporate contracts—just a verbal agreement between two people who trusted each other. But as weeks went by, memory blurred. Who was covering which expense? What was the agreed deadline? What started as a simple promise turned into awkward check-ins and unnecessary friction. It hit me: **Most agreements in our daily lives aren’t corporate buyouts.** They are casual promises—freelance jobs, splitting equipment, loaning money to a peer, or agreeing on project deliverables. But existing legal software makes you feel like you're signing a 40-page mortgage just to confirm a basic deal. I wanted to bridge that gap: keep the human trust of a handshake, but add the clarity of a modern digital signature. --- ### 🛑 The Problem I Wanted to Solve Every day, millions of agreements fall apart—not because of bad intentions, but because of **miscommunication and lost track of commitments**. * PDF templates are clunky on mobile devices. * Traditional e-signature apps are expensive and built for corporate legal teams. * Text messages and WhatsApp promises get buried and forgotten. --- ### 🔄 How My Approach Evolved When I first opened Replit to build **Handshake**, I thought I was just building a simple "signature canvas" on a web page. But as I tested it with real users, my perspective shifted: 1. **Mobile-First Realization:** People don't make casual deals sitting at desktop computers; they do it on their phones. I realized Handshake *had* to feel like a native mobile app (PWA & Android APK), allowing both parties to review and co-sign in under 60 seconds on the spot. 2. **Frictionless Onboarding:** I initially over-engineered mandatory account setups. Users told me: *"Let us draft the agreement FIRST."* I stripped away the friction so anyone can outline terms immediately and send a confirmation link to Party B. 3. **The "Casual Legal" Balance:** I learned that people wanted clear boundaries without legal intimidation. So I shifted the focus from scary legal jargon to transparent, mutual digital confirmation. --- ### 🚀 Where We Are Today Handshake is officially live at **handshakeapp.uk**! Whether you're a freelancer, creator, or just trying to keep a casual deal transparent with a partner, Handshake gives both Party A and Party B peace of mind in seconds. I’d love for you to give it a spin, drop your honest feedback below, and let me know: **What casual agreement in your life needs a Handshake today?** Thank you so much for the support! 🙌 — Favor Kay

The way Handshake separates casual tone from legally binding structure is really thoughtful, it makes agreements feel less intimidating without losing their weight. Nice execution on something most tools overcomplicate.

@hamilton_guo Thanks appreciated
