It would be cool if there was a law mandating that companies release the source code of a product after they stop distributing it, or maybe something like 15 years after its initial release.

Or just make all software open source ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Oops, missed that part. Ideally, this would be able to handle thousands of users

Yeah, I'll use one of the major email providers, I am aware of the risks of self-hosting email. And yes, I will implement some kind of push notification system, either through the browser or via a mobile app.

I would have to store the users' cron jobs in a database, and then run some kind of loop on startup to start the cron jobs.

I was thinking I could offer the option to use cron, if not they can just select an option from a dropdown.

regarding my nonexistent readme, this is basically a digital dead man switch. The user sets an interval to send emails with a link to them , and if they don't click on the link for a few months, they get marked as dead and messages they specified beforehand get sent out to groups of users.

correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like this wouldn't scale well

Ohhh I see, thanks for the explanation! In that case I agree that private property in the capitalist sense shouldn't exist.

I mean this in good faith, what's the alternative? That anyone could enter anyone's house freely? Or that everything is shared (owned by the state, which would give it too much power).
