Show HN: WeExpire.org – Notes readable only after your death

  • Hm please don't trust a service such as this over a decent legal firm, you can find always a reliable solicitor / legal support in your neighborhood.

  • Sorry for the shameless plug but I also have a similar service: https://backupdiary.com

    It works as a "dead man's switch". As long as you sign in at least once a month your note will be stay private. Otherwise, your designated recipients will get it in the email.

  • Interesting stuff if you find this thing useful:

    Google's Inactive Account Manager: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/3036546?hl=en

    Shamir's Secret Sharing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shamir%27s_secret_sharing

  • interesting SaaS. now, you have any plan in case you go out of business?

  • * or if you are seriously injured.

  • I have used https://www.deadmantracker.com since creation. This one seems to be similar but, perhaps, less intrusive—I have to check-in on DMT each week. Neat. The important part is permanence, if the service is to be trusted, and to be useful.

  • Blockchain based solution. Helps with the survivability of the provider issue with these.

  • random but this is probably a good use of blockchain tech. a smart contract that stores the notes and unlocks using a key that is given to a loved one. perfect for use case for a lasting note. only time this goes down is if the entire network goes down.

  • Interesting idea. If, for some reason, your site goes down, will a note still be readable?

  • Um... someone is going to use this for sending their suicide notes.

  • "Please delete my browser history" That is all.

  • Nice idea!
