Hello Steven, Correct, still need lawyer or some legal action if this is a "will". but this project is "for save information" with password, so nothing related with "law", but if really need, this is one of "document" that can support it. maybe you can try it and check if this is similar project as you thought before? thank you.

Hello, thank you for sharing. Printout is one of good way for sure, but means need to keep updating and print the new one. may I ask if they are handwriting or e-docs? Actually it is not communication problem with family, it is have too many information need to keep. Possible you can give it a try and maybe can give some feedbacks for me to improve? thank you.

thank you for "+1" :) I did decrypted part already and working very well, if forgot password, then all data need to start again since we dont storage anything from user since this is secret of everyone. possible you can give it a try and give some more feedbacks? please.

this is good to learn! I will take it as a important note and process, but this service will at least survived 5 years for sure. can you also try to use it? if this is a useful service for you? thank you.
Hello, thank you for the question. Currently I only do per person, because I was assumed some of information only want specific family member to know. but while you deliver password to unlock your data, it can send to multiple people. do you think this ok for you? thank you.
Thank you for advise. do you recommend that can keep it as HTML if someone really needs it? I already standby for this function but was for "non-AI" version.
Thank you for this question. I won't give an answer like "I won't close up" or "walking away with money". What my plan is try to make this website alive as long as I can, but if really sad story happen, my back up plan is allow every user directly download PDF(after unlock by user itself since we dont have it). That is why I am trying to collecting more user experience and fix it until fulfill of majority users. thank you.
please follow me to try and advise if some questions missing.
would like to have some encourage for my first project & first 50 user will be free as a founding user!
