Author here, we have been working on couple of infra things and these were bunch of changes we did recently helping us reduce cost by almost $29k a year from AWS bill.

Lots of easy wins and some not so easy but definitely quite interesting and learned a lot along the way, hoping it helps someone else out there in their own journey of reducing cloud bills!

Ngl, I was working on a "Save this page offline" feature, the idea was similar to what you said, it's more like a snapshot in time, you can export your whole vault encrypted with the SSS and an offline ready page to come to and unlock the vault.

In my idea, the doomsday trigger handling might be difficult if it was a truly offline page, so I've not yet thought it fully on how it can be executed well, I'll revisit that idea again with fresh eyes.

And thanks for the reach out, would love to chat more on email!

Honestly those are 100% fair questions, for (1), I have a security page: https://eternalvault.app/security/ but mainly because of marketing purposes, most people I have as customers are in their 30-40s and not fairly technical, so when they ask me, I have to be mindful to not bombard them with too much technical info, but it's a good idea to still have a whitepaper with more detailed info for someone who actually wants to confirm on the privacy aspects.

Regarding (2), that is the most common question I get and honestly I don't know if I have the best answer for it, but here's what I have, I have two vaults for myself (of course I use Eternal Vault myself), one for family and one for business, in the business vault I have few documents including one called "Business continuity plan" which lays down all of my raw thoughts around how eternal vault is built, core technical things, infrastructure, dooms day trigger etc, and other business specific documents, right now since I don't have any heir, I have added few close people to it who are also fairly technical to keep it running, but eventually my idea is to expand on it in such a way that if I'm removed from the equation, the product can still sustain itself both business and ops wise, but I can totally understand why someone would trust a stranger on the internet, so I'm actually not sure how can I make the answer for 2nd much better, what do you recommend?

It's an incredible technique, when I came across it, it just changed the way I thought of solving giving out keys without "truly" giving them out. This gave me confidence for eternalvault.app, a project of mine.

I'm building (or rather rebuilding/pivoting my focus) CatchIntent (https://CatchIntent.com). The intent layer for B2B outbound.

The marketing site is stale with our previous offering, the demo of upcoming product is here: https://vimeo.com/1190884516
