You should too", "summary": "A Brazilian developer created an emergency web page that sends SMS and email alerts with geolocation data to designated contacts, addressing concerns about being without a phone due to robbery, dead batteries, or device failure. The open-source tool allows users to quickly notify family or friends for help or to communicate critical information when unable to use their phone normally.", "body_md": "I have a bad memory and can't memorize some important numbers, so I created this project.\n\nI'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.\n\nIt’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.\n\nThe source code is available at [https://github.com/skhaz/dokku/tree/main/apps/help](https://github.com/skhaz/dokku/tree/main/apps/help)\n\nComments URL: [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48294791](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48294791)\n\nPoints: 8\n\n# Comments: 11", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-i-made-an-emergency-page-for-my-family-you-should-too", "canonical_source": "https://help.delduca.org", "published_at": "2026-05-27 14:18:03+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-05-27 16:15:23.312274+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-products", "ai-tools"], "entities": ["GitHub", "Brazil"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-i-made-an-emergency-page-for-my-family-you-should-too", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-i-made-an-emergency-page-for-my-family-you-should-too.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-i-made-an-emergency-page-for-my-family-you-should-too.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-i-made-an-emergency-page-for-my-family-you-should-too.jsonld"}}
