Show HN: I made an emergency page for my family

https://help.delduca.org
34•delduca•2h ago
I have a bad memory and can't memorize some important numbers, so I created this project.

I've always been concerned about being without my phone (getting robbed - which is common in Brazil - running out of battery, having it break, etc.), so I decided to create a page that sends SMS messages (LLM-summarized) and emails with more detailed information such as geolocation, IP address, and the full message.

It’s a simple page that allows sending one or more messages, with recipients being myself and other people - for example, in case I or they need help or need to communicate something important.

The source code is available at https://github.com/skhaz/dokku/tree/main/apps/help

Why is it more likely you'll have internet access when you don't have a phone? If you happen to find a computer, what's insufficient about writing an email?
delduca•1h ago
My wife doesn't check email frequently, so SMS (or even better, WhatsApp) would be more reliable.

Maybe an alternative is to store the WhatsApp contact information of people who could help behind a password.

Then, if I need help, I can ask to borrow someone's phone on the street. If they don't have WhatsApp, I can just make a regular phone call instead.

fn-mote•59m ago
> If they don't have WhatsApp

Is this really likely? I would guess only 70 year olds don't have WhatsApp.

Seems more likely you forget the impoprtant phone numbers because you never enter them manually.

x187463•56m ago
With iMessage, Discord, and Signal, I can't imagine a use case for me or anyone I know to use WhatsApp.
nerdsniper•49m ago
The vast majority of the world defaults to whatsapp. But yes, other than convention, any of these could be equivalent.

I don’t see why you would care for Discord over whatsapp except that it’s what you happen to use already.

sheept•51m ago
WhatsApp is not universally used. Line, WeChat, and KakaoTalk are more common in East Asia
malfist•51m ago
Nobody in my friend group has a WhatsApp and I'm a millennial.
j45•29m ago
It doesn’t have to be just for one type of user.
NDlurker•36m ago
In the US, the only people I know who use WhatsApp are immigrants who use it to talk to friends and family back home.

How will you log into your email from a strange computer without your phone. Gmail has required 2-factor auth for a long time.
306bobby•28m ago
I get your point, but believe it or not there's more email services than just Gmail
zamadatix•58m ago
Before MFA was mandated on every service this was an easy problem to solve. Now when you lose your phone while out and about you lose your ability to log in to even Dave's Speed Cow Milker's Enthusiast Forum unless you're at home with another computer already logged in to various things.

Do you know another way to fit a 3000 long message into a 160ish SMS?
ForHackernews•44m ago
write a shorter emergency message?

"I was in a car accident, come to general hospital downtown"

TZubiri•36m ago
Ok I understand the usecase now.

I would have used two textboxes, Title and description, but this works as well.

MSFT_Edging•30m ago
19 SMS messages.

Does anyone still pay per text?

flexagoon•22m ago
> Does anyone still pay per text?

It makes much more sense outside the US than to pay for a text bundle. My phone plan includes 0 SMS messages, and I don't know what was the last time when I've had to send one was. It's only useful when someone doesn't have internet, which only happens once every few months at most.

philipwhiuk•9m ago
Why 3000 ? Set a character limit. If the detail is important they can just send 2.. or 10.
sixhobbits•50m ago
I did something similar, just a photo of handwritten phone mumbers and an easy to remember URL that's not indexed.

Anyone will hopefully lend you a phone if you're in a pinch but I realized that I don't know very numbers to actually call and it's kinda weird to start using email/Whatsapp whatever on a strangers phone compared to asking to visit one site and make one call

comrade1234•44m ago
Did you get my request for help?
delduca•30m ago
I got ~300 requests :)

So far...

ventana•37m ago
I would probably suggest switching the link to the GitHub source code and listing the actual page URL in the description; otherwise, I click the link in the article and get a location sharing request and a Send button; after a few seconds I matched that with the title, but I still had my WTF moment.
autoexec•35m ago
This isn't a terrible idea, but I'd password protect it and share the password with the people you want to be able to contact you. That'll help avoid spam/scams. "I'm your family member in trouble please send money now to X immediately no time to explain further" is a very common scam and a page like this would make it very easy.
ahmedfromtunis•18m ago
I built life-link almost a year ago for the same purpose: https://github.com/ahmedsaoudi/life_link

I even created a generator so people can configure it with their Telegram/Pushover settings and have it generate a static app easy to host on Netlify or Clouflare Pages/Workers.

NewEntryHN•13m ago
Hmm I'm not sure why in an emergency situation accessing a webpage would be easier than making a phone call.
delduca•4m ago
The problem is to remember numbers.
philipwhiuk•10m ago
I... I would not trust my emergency page to an LLM.
