Secure Digital Legacy Platform Development

Developer Brief — LastSignalAlive Hello, I am looking to build LastSignalAlive, a private and secure digital legacy platform. The purpose of the website is to allow a user to create and safely store personal messages, videos, photos, documents, voice notes, and final instructions that should only be released to selected people after the user’s death or confirmed inactivity. The feeling of the platform must be: Private, secure, emotional, calm, trustworthy, and professional. This is not a social media platform. It is a serious personal legacy and final-message platform. Core Idea A user signs up and creates a private account. Inside the account, the user can upload or write: Final messages Videos Photos Voice notes Documents Instructions for loved ones Recipient details Guardian or verifier details The user decides who should receive each message and when it should be released. The platform must protect this content and only release it according to the rules set by the user. Main Users There will be different types of users: Account Owner The person creating and storing final messages. Recipients The people who will receive the messages later. Guardians / Verifiers Trusted people who may help confirm the user’s death or inactivity. Admin The platform owner/team who manages users, reports, support, moderation, and system control. Main Features Required 1. User Account System Users must be able to: Register Login Reset password Verify email Manage profile Enable secure account protection Delete account if required Security is very important. 2. Secure Vault Users must have a private vault where they can create and store: Written messages Video files Audio files Images PDF/documents Notes and instructions Each item should have: Title Description File/message content Assigned recipient Delivery rule Status 3. Recipient Management Users must be able to add recipients with: Full name Email address Phone number if needed Relationship Delivery method Notes Each message should be connected to one or more recipients. 4. Guardian / Verification System Users should be able to add trusted guardians or verifiers. The system should support rules such as: Guardian confirmation Inactivity check Admin review Manual verification Death confirmation process The platform must not release messages randomly. There must be a proper verification flow. 5. Inactivity Check System The platform should be able to check if the user is still alive/active. Example flow: System sends check-in emails/reminders to the user User confirms they are alive If user does not respond after multiple attempts, the system moves to verification Guardians may be contacted Admin may review before release This flow must be safe and controlled. 6. Message Delivery System After proper verification, the system should deliver the stored messages to selected recipients. Delivery can include: Email delivery Secure download link Notification to recipient Future option for WhatsApp or other channels Recipients should only access what was assigned to them. 7. Public Read-Only Remembrance Form V1 must include a public, read-only Remembrance Form/Page. This should allow selected public information or memorial content to be viewed without editing. It must be read-only, controlled, and not allow public users to change anything. 8. Admin Panel Admin must be able to manage: Users Uploaded content Recipients Guardians Verification requests Delivery status Reports Support requests Flagged content System settings Admin must have strong control and audit logs. 9. Moderation and Safety Because users may upload sensitive files, the system must include a moderation/admin review process. The platform should prevent harmful, illegal, abusive, or dangerous content from being delivered. Admin should be able to review, approve, reject, suspend, or flag content if needed. Technical Requirements The website must be built professionally and securely. Important technical expectations: Clean frontend design Mobile responsive Secure backend PostgreSQL database is mandatory Secure file storage Proper user authentication Role-based access control Admin dashboard Audit logs Email notification system Data backup structure Scalable codebase Clear documentation GitHub repository with clean code Deployment-ready structure Security, privacy, and reliability are non-negotiable. Design Direction The design should feel: Premium Calm Emotional Private Secure Simple to use Preferred colors: Dark navy Soft gold Off-white Charcoal Logo direction: Signal wave Heartbeat Lock Message Legacy feeling The site must not look cheap, childish, or like a basic template. Main Pages Needed The website should include: Home page About page How it works Pricing or plans page if needed Register/Login User dashboard Vault page Add message page Recipients page Guardians page Account settings Public remembrance page Admin login Admin dashboard Privacy policy Terms and conditions Contact/support page What I Expect From Developers I expect the developers to build a complete working V1, not just a design. The final delivery must include: Fully working website User dashboard Admin dashboard Secure database File upload system Recipient system Guardian/verification system Message delivery flow Public read-only Remembrance Form Responsive design Tested features Clean source code Deployment setup Final handover documentation Important Note This project is based on trust, privacy, and sensitive personal data. The developers must treat security, confidentiality, database structure, and ownership seriously. The final product should be something that can grow into a real business, not just a simple demo website. Project name: LastSignalAlive Tagline: Your final words, protected until the right time.
