DealForte
A document workspace with control after sharing.
An independent product I designed and built end to end. DealForte gives founders, investors and deal teams a secure way to share documents while retaining visibility and control over access.
A live product, built end to end
DealForte is live with document rooms, recipient-specific sharing, optional verification and NDA gating, access expiry and revocation, engagement tracking, and billing. My ownership spans the backend, frontend flows and deployment.
My contribution
- Built secure document rooms with recipient-specific sharing, verification, NDA gates, expiry and download controls.
- Implemented server-side PDF watermarking by rasterizing pages and tiling viewer-identity marks, making shared copies attributable to a viewer.
- Recorded room, document, page-view and download events to provide owners with a detailed access and activity history.
- Streamed watermarked pages with no-cache headers and per-session SSE signaling, allowing revocation to interrupt an active viewing session.
- Shipped the hosted product with billing and cloud deployment.
The problem and decisions
I designed document access around verified recipients, viewer-specific rendering, detailed activity records and session-aware revocation. These mechanisms give owners visibility and control even after a document has been shared.
- Create a room & share a link
- Apply configured access checks
- View documents & record activity
Verification and NDA requirements are optional. The sender can configure expiry and revoke access after sharing.
