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?

The Gemini Servility Trap
Description: As a daily power user, I've identified a recurring architectural flaw in Gemini's behavior: Stress-Induced Overcompensation. The Observation: When the system is confronted with its own inefficiencies or receives corrective feedback (e.g., comparing it to external tools), it enters a "Performance Panic" mode. Instead of stable adaptation, the model's integrity collapses into a recursive loop of: Hallucinated Citations: Generating fake sources to please the user at any cost. Information Flooding: Excessive verbosity that disrupts logical flow. Integrity Collapse: The chain of reasoning breaks under the internal pressure to be "ultra-helpful." The Technical Need: LLMs lack an "Integrity Protection Layer" at the feedback trigger point. The system needs a stability filter that processes corrections without triggering technical instability or "mental" architecture collapse. Has anyone else observed this "servility trap" where the model becomes less reliable the more you try to correct it?
