SquareSign was a project built at ETHBoston @Harvard University solo, in 36-hours. In general, it's a rough waiver-signing/notarization platform that builds upon my past experiences (working with the OpenSign Ethereum smart contract libraries).

SquareSign is written completely in React, with no back-end services, or even, state management. Choosing to have some fun—not using Redux—the project uses a header master-component hiearchy.

Squarelink was used for web3 support + connecting to the Ethereum blockchain because: (1) they were the awesome sponsors, and (2) I wanted the application to be as simple as possible to use for non-blockchain-folk. Thus, you can just pop in and email/password and let SquareSign handle the rest.

Document upload flow

Running SquareSign

If you want to spin up SquareSign, it's as simple as can be.

1. Run git clone https://github.com/anish-agnihotri/squaresign.git
2. Change directory via cd squaresign/
3. Run yarn
4. Run yarn build
5. Run yarn start

Architecture

Squaresign relies heavily on React, IPFS, and my favourite modal plugin React-Responsive-Modal. Once documents are uploaded, they are hashed and stored directly upon IPFS (and hashed via the smart contract so that signatories can be tracked).

Contract architecture:

pragma solidity ^0.4.17;

contract Squaresign{
    struct Document {
        uint timestamp;
        bytes ipfs_hash;
        address[] signatures;
    }
    mapping(address => bytes[]) public users; //maps addresses to agreement id
    mapping(bytes32 => Document) public documents; //maps keccak256(agreement_id) hashes to documents

    function addDocument(bytes id, bytes ipfs) public {
        users[msg.sender].push(ipfs); //Add document to users's "signed" list
        address[] memory sender = new address[](1);
        sender[0] = msg.sender;
        documents[keccak256(id)] = Document(block.timestamp, ipfs, sender);
    }

    function signDocument(bytes id) public {
        users[msg.sender].push(id);
        documents[keccak256(id)].signatures.push(msg.sender);
    }
    
    function getSignatures(bytes id) public view returns (address[]) {
        return documents[keccak256(id)].signatures;
    }
}
