Coincidentally, I wanted to launch this yesterday but HackerNews was down-- I built KillSwitch (http://Killswit.ch) with the busy agency in mind. Many digital agencies don't host the sites they advertise for and this can cause a problem when there is downtime. It's not uncommon for a client website to go down for hours in the middle of the night while traffic is being sent to the site. KillSwitch monitors the site every minute for connectivity and in the event of downtime notifies stakeholders. If the site is not returned to service after a user-adjustable threshold, the AdWords…

Not spin up infra. Not register for some "secure" web app. Not trust Slack threads. Just send a secret. Secrets are encrypted client-side with AES-256-GCM. You get a `uuid:key` token to share. Once someone reads it, it's gone. If they don't read it in 10 minutes, it expires and deleted. Everything is verifiable. Every release is signed, SLSA-attested, SBOM-included, and logged in the Rekor transparency…
