If you've had problems with the Dead Man's Switch mobile app logging in, please let us know!

@HiImBBQ Not yet, but if someone wants to take a stab at it, we could certainly make an API for it.

@stochastic Any news on this? This might be ideal for many people.

We're thinking of making a Dead Man's Switch browser extension that would automatically notify the site whenever you use your browser, so you didn't have to receive emails. What do you think?

@penapucks Haha, I will make sure we send you links more often then :P

@stochastic I feel a sense of accomplishment telling myself that I’m still alive every time I click on that mysterious blue link in the email though

@penapucks Ahh, yes, then it might not be as useful to you, but it would be very "set and forget". Thanks for the feedback! The Telegram bot is cool though.

@stochastic Once a month

@penapucks The biggest issue with email is spam filters, actually.

@stochastic actually yes that would be useful~

@penapucks Have you tried the Telegram integration? What do you think about a browser extension that would automatically notify Dead Man's Switch so you didn't have to ever click the link?

@stochastic idk why I just found your twitter but just saying im a loyal dms user, i think i've been using it for a bunch of years now LOL its almost like a ritual for me going onto my email every month just to click on the link ily <3

After browser push notifications, Dead Man's Switch now supports Telegram notifications! Never miss a liveness check again: deadmansswitch.net

@Fyrhtu It's not having trouble, we just made the longer intervals available only to subscribers. If you don't edit your message, you can keep using the longer intervals.

Hey, @stochastic - is deadman's switch having trouble? I signed in to update my message, but it's forcing me to select the 1,2 test message interval... and I really don't want to get "Are you dead? How about now?" messages every day...

We're launching a new version of Dead Man's Switch. Help us test it and get 90% off the lifetime account! Sign up on beta.deadmansswitch.net and let us know if there are any problems or issues.

@jlindenbaum Wait, really? Misconfigured how? It's supposed to renew automatically.

@sirnippalot Yes, of course.

@dafacto Nice article and good security precautions! Our service costs almost nothing to run, so hopefully we'll be around for a long time!

@bubonicfred Are you using it? We can renew if you do, but Persona seems abandoned, so Persowna is too.

@RadicalTourist Ah, yes, that was using Posterous, a platform which went under a long time ago. We'll have to remove the link, thank you.

@RadicalTourist Which link do you mean? And an RSS feed for which?

@damn_dysania None, it's just a different domain. Both are the same site.

We've made some changes to reduce the errors, but AppEngine keeps timing out. Please login to your accounts to update them manually for now.

@mormo_music @aword4theweary I've just changed the wording and am fixing the errors as well, thanks!
