Show HN: Gatherly – E-signatures and doc collection for professional services
I built this after hearing the same complaint from accountants, lawyers, and consultants: they spend more time chasing clients for documents than doing actual work.
The pattern repeats everywhere — send a PDF, follow up three times, client sends it unsigned, follow up again, client sends the wrong document. The billing clock stops but the frustration doesn't.
Gatherly lets firms send a Secure Link to a branded Client Portal where clients sign and upload everything in one place. No client account required. Automated reminders handle follow-up until completion.
A few design decisions worth noting:
- Signatures are eIDAS-qualified (the EU legal standard for electronic signatures), which matters for law firms and financial advisors who need agreements that hold up legally - We combine e-signature with document collection in one workflow — so a client signs an engagement letter and immediately uploads supporting files in the same session, rather than two separate tools - Zero friction for the client side — they get a link, sign, upload, done. No account creation, no app to install
The thing I'm still figuring out: pricing model. Currently flat per-month with a free trial. Curious whether usage-based (per document request sent) or seat-based makes more sense for this kind of workflow tool.
Happy to hear from anyone who's worked in or built for professional services firms.

Show HN: MatsuriMap – Free interactive map for events and festivals in Japan
I noticed that most local events and festivals are only advertised in Japanese on individual venue websites. Note: The site is largely AI-powered — data collection, translation, and categorization are all automated. While I do my best to keep things accurate, there may be occasional errors in dates, locations, or details. Each event links to its official source page, so please double-check there before making plans! Feedback welcome~

Ask HN: Can multi-agent systems collaborate?
most multi-agent coding frameworks seem to prefer strict task isolation -- split the work, avoid interference, merge later. humans end up acting as the coordinator.
is this a deliberate architectural choice (isolation is simpler and safer), or are we hitting a real capability ceiling where agents can’t reliably coordinate on a shared, evolving codebase?
the ideal would be multiple agents working on the same system with awareness of each other’s intent and changes -- not just “one agent per file.” is anyone meaningfully solving that problem, or is divide-and-conquer simply good enough for now?
