展示HN:Life_link,一款可以从任何地方发送紧急警报的应用程序
双重身份验证让我感到恐惧。
多年前,我在朋友家,决定快速下楼买点东西。
当我试图重新进入大楼时,主门已经锁上了。由于我的手机、钥匙和任何备用现金都留在楼上,我被困在外面。
幸运的是,当时谷歌允许用户通过Hangouts应用发送短信,我在一家网吧登录我的账户后就这样做了。(那时候人们并不是总连接着Facebook等社交媒体。)
从那天起,我就害怕因为双重身份验证被锁在账户外,仅仅是因为我的手机(和访问代码)不在身边。
虽然如今人们总是连接着消息应用,但如果我无法登录我的账户,我就无法联系到他们。
这就是我开发life_link的原因,这是一款允许我的亲人随时随地联系我的应用,无需担心双重身份验证,甚至无需登录。为了做到这一点,他们只需通过一个秘密(短)网址访问该应用。
此后,我通过创建一个“生成器”应用扩展了life_link,该应用可以生成一个预配置的单文件应用,准备在任何静态网站托管服务上部署,并决定将其开源,以便其他可能觉得有用的人使用。

2-factor authentication terrorizes me.<p>Many years ago, I was at a friend's house and decided to quickly pop downstairs to buy something.<p>When trying to re-enter the building, the main gate had locked. And since my phone, keys, and any spare cash were all left upstairs, I was stuck outside.<p>Thankfully, Google, at the time, allowed users to send SMSes (SMSs?) through the Hangouts app, which I did after logging into my account from an internet cafe. (Back then people weren’t constantly connected to Facebook, etc.)<p>Since that day I feared being locked out of my accounts by 2FA, simply because my phone (and my access codes) weren't with me.<p>And while it's true that today people are always connected to messaging apps, I wouldn't be able to reach any of them without me being able to log into mine.<p>That’s why I built life_link, an app that allows my loved ones to reach me, wherever they are, without having to care about 2FA or even needing to log in. To do so, they simply need to reach the app on a secret (short) URL.<p>I've since expanded life_link by creating a "generator" app that can produce a pre-configured, single-file application, ready to be deployed on any static site hosting service and decided to open-source it for other people who might find it useful.<p>You can find the life_link project and learn more about it here:<p><a href="https://github.com/ahmedsaoudi/life_link">https://github.com/ahmedsaoudi/life_link</a>
