 ## Let’s build the world’s most trusted document-signing tool.
 
-Today I am excited to announce my new Project Documenso. Documenso is an open-source document signing tool you can host yourself and freely build upon because it is, you know, open-source. Before I get more into the details of what and when will be launched I want to take a moment and talk about why.

 ## Digital signing is great
 
-Signing Documents digitally has countless benefits: Less struggle with printing, less wasting paper, faster request delivery, easier changes, easier coordination of people far away, verifiable document integrity, and verifiable signer identity (this is a vast topic, will write more on soon), easier storage and search of signed documents, the list goes on. Digital Signatures take something very old and very trusted like personally signing documents into the digital space, adding the benefits listed above. It also introduces a new party to every signing transaction, the signing tool providers. What was peer to peer transaction before, now goes through an intermediary. While this is not a problem in itself, it should make us think about how we want these providers of trust to work.

 ## How do we build trusted systems?
 
@@ -38,11 +38,11 @@ While doing research for Documenso I came upon a quote that expresses the curren
 
 > Document signing is NOT a technical problem. [Editor’s Note: Because it was solved technically a long time ago] It’s a legal acceptance problem — and everyone KNOWS DocuSign and friends and understands how they’re admissible. Anything else would have to compete with that and people would be suspicious of it for a long time.
 
-While this may sound like a hurdle at first, it immediately gave me a sense of validation for a more open approach to signing. People will and should be suspicious of their tools and demand a high bar when it comes to trust. And the way to earn this trust is by being open. Trusted tools should be the result of thoughtful discussion and reviews. They should be the result of the needs and will of its community. They should be transparent, adaptable, and empowering while using. Open-Source embodies these values very well for software, which makes it a perfect fit for this space and creating a high-trust tool.

 ## Next Steps
 
-So, what can you expect from here on out? I have started to build Documenso 0.1 which is scheduled to release in “early” 2023. If you are interested in helping make this happen, let me know via hi@documenso.com. Getting working code into the hands of the perspective Documenso community is currently the #1 goal. Other than that I will be releasing several articles about document signing and what something like Documenso should look like, in my humble opinion. So stay tuned!

+title: Switching to Discord
+description: The Documenso community is growing and we feel the need to have a more community and developer-friendly environment. We're switching to Discord.

+---
+
+We’re switching to Discord.
+
+Documenso is an open-source DocuSign alternative, built with community and transparency in mind.
+
+So, when we started working on the project, we quickly set up a Slack workspace to start engaging with community members.
+
+As the community grows (reached 2K stars on GitHub and 100 community members on Slack), we felt the need to set up a more community-friendly environment.
+
+The Documenso team is growing, too. [Lucas joined Timur](https://twitter.com/ElTimuro/status/1648608988391514112), then [Ephraim](https://twitter.com/documenso/status/1662418374243041280) and [David](https://github.com/dguyen) recently joined the journey. We want to stay in touch with the community as much as possible and avoid context-switching to focus on work, support, and fun.
+
+We’re an open-source project and focus on building a great developer experience. So, when we thought of a Slack replacement, community and developer-friendly, Discord was an obvious choice — not to mention that it would help us keep up with [OSS friends](https://documen.so/oss), too.
+
+So, we’re switching all conversations, team and community-wide, to Discord.
+
+In this post, we won’t debate *why* we’re switching — Slack vs. Discord is a long-lasting debate with pros and cons, and fans on both sides. There are great [stories](https://blog.meilisearch.com/from-slack-to-discord-our-migration/) and [threads](https://twitter.com/McPizza0/status/1655519558600470528) on the topic. We just don’t want to write yet another story here.
+
+Instead, we’ll focus on *how* we plan to make the switch.
+
+## Who is this story for?
+
+First, we wrote this post for the team so we’re ready for the switch. Then we post it online because we value transparency and thought it might help the community.
+
+For community members, this story would help you understand how we plan to make the switch and give you the guidance to fully embrace the new experience.
+
+For founders and makers who would like to switch too, in one way or another, this story would help you handle the transition with a detailed guide.
+
+## Switching to Discord
+
+We’re switching to Discord, step by step. First, we’re moving team conversations, then we’re moving the community with a 15-day buffering. 
+
+The detailed plan goes like this:
+
+- 2023-07-25 `t=0`: Timur starts setting up the Discord server and sends invites to the team.
+- 2023-07-26 `t+1`: The team switches to Discord. The objective is to get used to the product and to customize it to feel at home and, when we’re ready to welcome the community, to make new members feel at home, too.
+- 2023-08-02 `t+8`: We announce to the community the upcoming changes in the different channels — GitHub, Twitter, and Slack.

+
+## Final thoughts
+
+- We’re at the very, early stage on our journey to building a beautiful, open-source DocuSign alternative. We want to build a great developer experience with the open-source community and, switching to Discord, we want to set up the foundations of an open, safe place for community members to get in touch, brainstorm ideas, and have fun.
+- It doesn’t mean we won’t ever switch back to Slack. The tools of today aren’t the ones of tomorrow. We don’t delete the Slack workspace, we archive it, and keep the `documenso` handle. May it be just an *au revoir?*
+- For now, we’re pushing forward and are eager to welcome you on Discord. Make sure to [join the server](https://documen.so/discord) in order to keep up to date on all things Documenso. See you there!
