Thanks! Totally agree, there's a lot of room for improvement on the landing page.

That use case sounds right. I've mainly been thinking about tax and immigration forms, or filling out financial and legal documents, etc.

There's no special field type for signatures at the moment, but you can upload a signature image, or use a text field with a handwriting font (Dancing Script [1]).

I will probably add the signature_pad [2] library to the online forms in the near future, and will add a special "signature" type. There might also be a new flow where you can request a signature via the API, and we'll send an email to the person who needs to sign the document.

(I actually just need to get a few more customers first, so that I'm building something that people need.)
