Comment on Show HN: Dead man's switch without reliance on your infra

Comments

I guess I'm an oldster shaking my fist at clouds, but ...

Depending on where you live, and if it matters, give it to an attorney.

Maybe use this to trigger the notification to your attorney, with instructions on how to double check things before doing things.

I agree, I think people underestimate the importance of actually checking why the heart beat was missed, double checking is important. You might think you can easily click some button once a week and it is no problem to take some drastic and maybe irreversible actions after a week without any event. And then you get into a serious accident and end up in hospital for weeks. Or there is some bug unintentionally triggering the actions.

The configuration example in README has "Reports Finalized", so I assume this is more for IT infra monitoring, than for taking irreversible actions when you become incapacitated :-)
