In plain words

WeExpire.org is a platform that lets users create notes and messages that become readable only after they die. Launched in March 2023, it serves people who want to leave instructions, messages, or information for loved ones or executors to access posthumously. The service addresses the practical need for secure communication of sensitive details—such as account credentials, final wishes, or personal messages—that should only be revealed after someone passes away.

From the sources

WeExpire is a free, open-source alternative to traditional online wills. It lets you create secure emergency notes, shared only after your death or serious injury. As soon as you write your note — whether it's your last message, final instructions, or a personal goodbye — it gets encrypted and turned into a QR code. You can print it or share it with someone you trust. When this person tries to access the note, WeExpire will contact you. If you don’t respond within the time limit you defined, your emergency note is automatically revealed. It’s a secure, lightweight form of online will delivery. Regardless of age, health, social status, or geographical location, one day we will all die or be…from weexpire.org

    In 2021 after getting thoroughly sick of Privnote, i built "Burner Note". Even though i didn't promote it in anyway other than a post here and a post on reddit, it ended up getting about 7000(ish) unique users per month. I kinda let it die about 18 months ago but i've resurrected it with some big upgrades. Most botable the app is now truly end to end encrypted (previously was just server side), and I've added dark mode as well as a few other bells and whistles. Feedback welcomed.

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

    I'm a big fan of the BBC podcast In Our Time -- and (like most people) I've been playing with the OpenAI APIs. In Our Time has almost 1,000 episodes on everything from Cleopatra to the evolution of teeth to plasma physics, all still available, so it's my starting point to learn about most topics. But it's not well organised. So here are the episodes sorted by library code. It's fun to explore. Web scraping is usually pretty tedious, but I found that I could send the minimised HTML to GPT-3 and get (almost) perfect JSON back: the prompt includes the Typescript definition. At the same time I…
