Cross-posting the full founder story here, plus the short version.
I wrote up the full story in a separate post today: https://www.indiehackers.com/post/built-a-tool-that-notifies-your-family-automatically-if-you-go-quiet-zero-customers-so-far-heres-the-idea-and-what-i-think-i-m-missing-062d5a084c
Short version: Dad Is Dead is a digital legacy tool built around a proof-of-life check-in — if you go quiet, your designated custodians are notified automatically, with control over exactly what each of them can see and when. It's live, it works, and it has zero real customers so far.
If you've dealt with a parent's or spouse's accounts after they passed, or you've been putting off your own version of this, I'd genuinely like to hear what the hardest part was.
