Does the product actually exist yet? If not this shouldn't be a Show HN [0]:

> If your work isn't ready for users to try out, please don't do a Show HN. Once it's ready, come back and do it then. Don't post landing pages or fundraisers.

Either way, there's not nearly enough information on the page for me to trust this with anything. No privacy policy, nothing to show how information is stored or protected, nothing showing how it actually works - just a checkout page asking me to pay $2 for an unspecified service

I built the landing page and currently Building the product. I want feedback on the idea and the landing page both. For how it will work, it will work by sending emails to the user and their family. I will add the detailed steps on the landing page.

Thanks for the feedback!

Why would anyone share their secrets with you? What guarantees do I have?

The data will be kept encrypted in the database and will not be shared with anyone until you die.

Also, it's not just for secrets. It's for business too.

Think you are running a SaaS and something happens to you. What will happen to the business? Someone has to know what you have to do to run the server, to manage the database.

It's like having a backup with you forever so that your family can get your journals, "how to run my business" stuff ready.

Checkout https://once.com/ To get inspiration for the business model. I don’t deny the problem you try solving exists just that I wouldn’t trust anyone.

Like Once. I can add a one time payment model, but installing it on a computer won't work. Because if the data is just stored on a computer: 1) it's not safe. 2) it's not reliable, the computer could stop working.

For one time payment, I agree I will need to implement that.

What feature do you think would be better for bringing trust to you and all users? Because I agree there could be a huge trust issue. I will encrypt the data, but would people trust it?

You could make it self hosted and help your customers find reliable hosting providers that have long term plans that will continue provide service after customer dies

I think this is better off with me being a reliable source. Because what's the point if user dies and forgets to pay self hosting server bills? That will still be a huge responsibility for the user.

What about $2 per month to try, if the user likes they can move to $149 lifetime plan?
