We needed to send a fax in 2026. It was terrible. So we fixed it.

FaxDrop helps people get a document to an institution that still requires fax. No machine, dedicated phone line, or ongoing fax setup.

It started with a DBA filing.

I was registering a new business name with New York State and discovered that the fastest way to submit the form was by fax. Not email. Not an online portal. Fax. In 2026.

So I did what anyone would do. I asked AI to find me an online fax service.

AI very confidently pointed me to a few popular options. Oh my goodness. The ones I tried felt dated and made a simple task much bigger. The first site failed completely. I tried another. It worked, barely. I paid the $3.99, suffered through the experience, and submitted my form.

Then, per my usual way of doing things, I went down what was supposed to be a 10-minute rabbit hole.

I looked closer and found plenty of people facing the same chore. They were navigating broken flows, dated interfaces, and oversized products just to send an occasional fax.

Fax is obviously a dead technology, right? Right?

Wrong. Hospitals, courts, insurers, lenders, and government offices still rely on fax for important documents. Not because people love it. Because the receiving institution still requires it.

The problem was not the document. The problem was everything people had to adopt and manage just to send it.

Nearly 100 hours of building, testing, and refining later: FaxDrop.
