Where can I join / look into such an initiative? I’d love to give back to those following us, just as many before us did.


By any chance, have any of your friends shared any notable shortfalls of - or annoyances with - Docassemble?


I have had one small thing with it, if you're using the realtime preview for fancy things (one friend used it for a self-managed invitation card thing for weddings), the preview does not use the fancy fonts that are loaded into your template.

It's weird because the rest of the ecosystem is very good for almost every usecase.


I don’t know if you have started working on a potential solution (I am assuming not based off your verbiage), but I’d love to hear more.

I find tremendous purpose and joy in enabling more productive and efficient work by developing digital tools & applications, especially for intelligent individuals such as your mother and other lawyers.

If interested in sharing more, whether you want to have nothing to do with a potential venture or not, I have my public email on my profile. Cheers!


Maybe it’s the fact that I am not seeing the surrounding context with your quote, but it reads fine to me.

Perhaps it is my own way of thinking & writing which enables this. I was told by my mother that she knows when she’s reading something I wrote versus my siblings.

Otherwise, perhaps it is related to when one reads misspelled or incomplete words, yet our brains enable us to understand what was meant anyway, and in some cases, this is only consciously realized upon a second read.


Native language probably helps (or hinders) too. In French it’s common to cram 3-4 different information belonging to various level of concerns in a single sentence so I didn’t bat an either at processing the quote.


As dsq points out, maybe ajcp was talking about the punctuation. It could do with a couple of commas.


What a tough decision to make after nearly 11 years. My heart goes out to all the individuals who had their hearts in this company and product.
