that Dead mans switch type of project is only funny when you want others to use it.

That idea alone should make us reflect if we had lived a life being true to ourselves and told everyone what we wanted them to hear.

OK, next its my turn: Ill create a dating bot that contacts users on Valentines day, and invites them to restaurant if they will still be single next year. How does it feel ?

I can't tell what point you're trying to make here.

And how exactly does your dating example work? It invites them only if they agree to stay single for a year?

I think parent assumes users send their confessions and sins to people after they die instead of clearing things up beforehand or living an honest life. Says more about himself/herself than the product IMHO.
