ElTimuro··on Towards "Let's Encrypt" for Document Signing
I wrote this while working on AES and QES support for Documenso. The digital signing stack is surprisingly tightly coupled today. Curious how others working with eIDAS infrastructure see this evolving.
ElTimuro··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (October 2025)
Trust and Regulation like QTSP and all the other red tape

ElTimuro··on Show HN: Algora – Open source coding bounties
Same, we tip almost exclusively on algora
ElTimuro··on Ask HN: Would you (or your company) host your own document signing if you could?
Noted. I think best practice signing is pretty learn free at this point, but it is good to remeber this notion
ElTimuro··on Ask HN: Would you (or your company) host your own document signing if you could?
Good point. Cryptography can be a remedy here, but this is still a relevant factor IMO
ElTimuro··on Would you (or your company) host your own document signing if you could?
Would you (or the company you work for) self-host a document signing solution if that were an option? I find it really weird, that there seems to be no obvious option to do so, in a space that so obviously has reason to.

Disclaimer: I recently started Documenso

ElTimuro··on Hard time figuring out basic things in reactjs
If you want a bit more structure, a more opinionated framework like nextjs or similar could be for you
ElTimuro··on Ask HN: Why isn't there something like Let's Encrypt for document signing?
Pretty neat, thanks

The larger mission would be to reduce reliance on one player that has 70+ percent of the market and decentralize trust. Centralized trust is going out of style fast..
ElTimuro··on Ask HN: Why isn't there something like Let's Encrypt for document signing?
Is CAcert still alive? I read the project kinda died
ElTimuro··on Ask HN: Why isn't there something like Let's Encrypt for document signing?
I also agree with you for what it's worth. Even it is somewhat possible, it should be WAY more open and free. Like SSL it's not a luxury competitve edge, but basic modern day infrastructure
ElTimuro··on Ask HN: Why isn't there something like Let's Encrypt for document signing?
That's a great hint, will look into that..

Sorry you lost me on blockain. Also IF any blockchain were to be used to persist stuff like this it's the biggest, most decentralized.
ElTimuro··on Ask HN: Why isn't there something like Let's Encrypt for document signing?
i did not see anything about beeing a CA on first scan but if that's works it would be great

How can something so fundamentally math-based as Public-key cryptography be so heavyliy patented?
ElTimuro··on MS Ion: a Decentralized Identifier network that runs atop the Bitcoin blockchain
If done right who creates it should Not matter, Similar to bitcoin.
ElTimuro··on Ion – open, public, permissionless ID network that runs atop Bitcoin
Time will tell if this gains Traction,but for once the approach is right. HN is not that into crypto from what I can tell, i noticed before already.
ElTimuro··on Photographs: Removed
Same works if you remove a spoon and porridge. This is uttlery meaningless even if it were real life. Projecting behavioural triggers on technology is flawed most of the time.
ElTimuro··on Project Free TV shut down
Looks like a makeover. Maybe it was a marketing stunt just posting "Goodbye"... or just bad communication
