Solo dev – thinking a lot about death.
About a year ago, my grandpa showed me a note on his phone called "WHEN I DIE" with banking, insurance, property, investment, and other information in it. It really didn't sit right with me.
The past couple months I've been working on a more comprehensive, easy-to-use guide to document our (for better or worse) complicated lives and I'm just starting to show people.
It's free. It's anonymous. There's no tracking. Download the document if you want to work offline.
It's just something I think should existing in the world.
Maybe I'll put it on Gumroad or something. Maybe I'll make some kind of hosted version one day... idk, shrug.
Feel free to check it out, lmk if it's helpful to you or you think there's anything I should add: https://deathdocument.com
