Sorry you take that impression at first view, although I do understand it living in the world we live. This is not a dead man, I am really alive -ironic just in case :P, it is only me behind this idea, not they.

> This is not a dead man, I am really alive

Hi there! Just a friendly note since it appears that there might be a slight misunderstanding (perhaps ESL?)

The "deadman's switch" [1] is not in reference to you (the creator) being a literal dead person, but rather to the definition of your service being built to operate in the event something (like being kidnapped/killed/incapacitated) happens to the user.

Hope that helps clear up the confusion.

Hey there :), I tried to joke about it and I did it really badly, sorry, thats why I said I am really alive, trying to say that there is no switch for me, not yet.

Thank you!
