Death Plan Switch
Death Plan Switch, a self-hosted dead man's switch for solo devs Hi HN, I'm Peter Bishop and I've been working in graphics and web tech for over 25yrs. I've recently launched Death Plan Switch to solve a major problem in my succession plan. What if I go missing or die? The right people are told and my business can continue to operate for my clients. There's a backstory to this project, I was hospitalised in 2012 and lost my business back then and I couldn't get the data to my technical 2IC in time without frustrating my clients. Death Plan Switch solves this problem, it's free to download and use or study under the MIT license. I've been using it for the last few weeks. It was authored with the help of Claude Code after writing an extensive MD document and it passed 42 unit tests. I hope you get some use out of it, or it inspires your own succession plans. My clients are telling me this is a strong sales feature when they trust me with their hosting and technology accounts. Happy to answer any questions. Kind regards, Peter Bishop.
