Attempt 1: Very modern, plain-language NDA. Much easier to read and follow. Substantively better. No uptake.

Attempt 2: Suite of NDAs for various use cases, integrated with e-signature, filing, attorney approval, the works. That was rxnda.com. Lots of positive feedback. Not much actual use.

Attempt 3: Canting Tribe. Zero code. All about the network effects. Much, much simpler.

I've tried to make the PDF copy of the form as easy to set up in place-the-blanks e-sig services as possible, with [bracketed instructions] to make clear what goes where. I would be very interested in an e-sig service that allowed me to preconfigure a template with the latest terms, for other people to use. I'd be very interested in ways to put metadata or other hints for setting up e-sig into any of the various formats the site publishes.

I used to have a list of companies offering something close to rxnda.com: NDA plus e-sig. I don't have it with me now. But I'm not aware of any other attempt at voluntary standardization of a general-purpose NDA. Several large companies with leverage have published their standard NDAs, or even set up e-sig portals, as Google has. But I'm not aware of any such forms offered for general use, between other companies.

I would not be surprised to learn of prior attempts, or approaches vaguely close to mine. Frankly, I don't care who solves this problem, or how, as long as it's solved. Canting Tribe is the best I have. I believe it can work, but I can't make it work alone.
