Summary

I&#039;m creating the idea explained on <a href="http://helstra.net" style="color: #54556e;">http://helstra.net</a><br /> <br /> Anyone interested in joining me?

Description
I was member of a site which promised to send emails after I'd die to people of my choice. Unfortunately that side went bust, but I'm still alive. So, I'm building such a site myself using WordPress (yuck) Anyone interested?

    You know there's a reason I asked for collabs. Ideas. I'm open to suggestions

    Also, if someone kidnaps me, they will send me back or kill me within 24 hours so I'm not worried

    @CoffeeNcode a cock torture device is also a tool but i would rather not use it for anything

    @CoffeeNcode cock torture devices have greatly improved since the middle ages and now you dont get tetanus if you use them

    Also it wasnt an allegory, i just couldnt think of any other tool i wouldnt use

    It's still a torturing device. More refined, yes. But still a torturing device

    Don't talk to me about anything that has Java in its name, specially JS. JS is to programming as a bare rock is to intelligence

    I wouldn't know. I primarily write in C and Assembly. Script languages look dumb, useless, overtly insecure and unoptimized to me

    This is the form of JS I like:

    Good to know you're still alive :D

    The project sounds really interesting to me, would love to get involved! Plus, I am comfortable with PHP/WP.

    Happy to talk about it ;)

    How about doing it this way:

    Grant a killswitch to N people. If M people, where M <= N, activate the killswitch then you are asked if you are indeed deceased. If you do not answer after X amount of time, which can be specified, activate whatever life-cleanup services you want. The latter don't need to be part of your application.

    Seems to me less error prone than assuming death after some amount of time.

    @FuckJava Just wondering, would you consider writing the project in Java instead?

    Smart question

    Business knows no zeal. If this were a business venture, and Java provided obvious benefits, yes

    @FuckJava - I mean no disrespect, but this is the best comment I've read anywhere, on any channel all week.

    Personally, I like the idea. I suppose it could use a little refinement and a slick web app. Nothing at all wrong with PHP, just more prone to user (or developer error) than say a more restrictive framework (which I tend to favor for that reason).

    Wordpress... It's ok for a blog I guess, and clearly also for making your idea manifest, so well done for actually getting something onto a publicly accessible server.

    If I were you, I'd give it some thought, take a few test swings at ideas, but don't take it too seriously. Remember to have fun, when it stops being fun, it is terribly difficult to come back.

    I really hope nobody gets abducted or killed, the mood in here got super serious, super quickly. I appreciate there are real dangers, but no website could change that anyway.

    Just live your best life, keep learning, keep growing and have fun dammit! :)

    @tekashi PHP7 is as competent as any other established language. Not my weapon of choice, but it will get the job done. Wordpress is the one that makes me cringe a bit, hehe

    Sounds like unethical thing to do, but I like it 😂 I mean, you'd most probably need very strong security considerations and EULAs if your project grows. And in THAT case you cannot afford random wannabe provider, so careful there and good luck :)
