Papermark + Postgres
Share decks and data rooms without DocSend's watermarked meter.

DocSend is how you send a PDF and then pay to know if the VC scrolled. Papermark is that product, open source, on your Postgres.

Agent setup prompt
Replace DocSend with papermark/papermark + Postgres. - Deploy Papermark, persist uploads, put metadata in Postgres. - Create one data-room link and verify page-level analytics work. - Lock the admin. Write a short "how we share decks now" note for the team.
Also as markdown: /stacks/papermark-docs.md
FAQ
- Can I keep DocSend links alive?
- Leave them until they expire. New shares go through Papermark so you stop feeding the meter.
