Did you read the beginning? This is an extension to an existing dead man switch app whose only purpose is to hide the fact that it's a dead man switch. The underlying app is indeed a dead man switch.
- Grustaf 7y agoI read the text in the link, but I can’t figure what it is a dead mans switch _for_?
- fudged71 7y agoIt seems the web service will automatically contact whoever you have set up to be contacted, if you don't take action on the notifications from the app
- Grustaf 7y agoAha ok I see. But then I don’t see how it could be two apps, what would the app without the game do?
- c22 7y agoIt just requires you to take some action on a recurring basis. Someone who is not trying to hide that they have a deadman switch on their phone doesn't need a game, they just need a button they can push to indicate that they are still alive.
- Grustaf 7y agoOk I thought the hiding was the point, but maybe there’s a use case.
