Developer launches self-hosted dead man's switch for solo coders

Original: Show HN: Death Plan Switch, a self-hosted dead man's switch for solo devs Hi HN, I'm Peter Bishop and I've been working

Peter Bishop, a developer with over 25 years in graphics and web technology, has launched Death Plan Switch, a self-hosted dead man's switch aimed at solo developers. The tool is designed to address succession planning: if a developer goes missing or dies, it can trigger predetermined actions, helping ensure their projects, data and responsibilities are handled. It is being shared on Hacker News, where the developer explains it solves a problem in his own succession plan.

Why now: Solo developers increasingly face the practical problem of what happens to their work if something happens to them, making this tool relevant and newly launched.
