I used the same principle to let people write their own emergency notes in a secure way: https://weexpire.org


https://weexpire.org - An opensource tool for creating emergency notes that can be read by your trusted contacts only after your death or if you are seriously injured.


I would love to read about the psychology of why we may want those notes to be hidden from them before our death/injury.


Not sure you need psychology to figure it out: the notes may contain passwords to your accounts, confessions, and other things you're not comfortable sharing when you're alive.

I've been thinking about something like that. So the message is not stored, but if I scan it then it's in your HTTP server logs, isn't it?



thanks!! i'll add it.

Being as the timelines for seeing this product in action may be measured in decades (i.e. time of death, hopefully far away), how will you convince your customers that you will still be operating for decades? What happens if operations do cease?


One reliable way to convince customers is to provide emergency notes with a fixed expiration date of a maximum of 1 year from the time the note was written. After 1 year, customers are, in a way, forced to create a new emergency note, and at the same time, they can verify if anything is going to change soon on the platform (e.g. upcoming shutdown). This would also help to keep the emergency note’s content always up-to-date. When you sign up for car insurance, you do so for a maximum of 1 year, as prices and coverages may change.


I love this! Thank you.


Thank you!

Yes, that's a dupe by HN standards. This is in the FAQ: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html.


Ok - sorry and thx for letting me know!
