01Context
A document service needed to be tested in practice. I came up with the business direction — document templates — and built the first MVP in a weekend.
Today that service is DataDoc.RU (ex forma.today).

DataDoc: from a weekend MVP to a production SaaS
I built an MVP of a document service in a weekend and grew it into a SaaS with e-signing: today it is DataDoc.RU.
- in a weekend
- First MVP
- qualified e-signature, including by two legal entities, and a simple SMS signature
- Signing
- external form completion, HR templates
- Completion
- from idea and MVP to a production SaaS
- Path
02Problem
Recurring documents have to be prepared again and again, data gathered manually, and signing arranged separately. The challenge was to bring these steps together in a clear service.
03My contribution
I lead development and the technical side of the service, own its architecture and work with key clients.
04Solution
Document templates and sending forms out for external completion, including HR templates.
E-signing: with a qualified electronic signature, including by two legal entities, and with a simple electronic signature by SMS.
The path from testing the idea to running a SaaS in production.
05Result
DataDoc.RU runs as a SaaS: template-based documents, external form completion and e-signing. I continue to lead its technical side and development.
06Takeaway
A weekend gave me the first MVP; real use proved the rest: an idea is tested by actual work.
