Thinking about building a simple “Seed Planner” for long-term self-custody (14yo learning)

I’m 14 and currently learning about Bitcoin self-custody and long-term storage.

One thing I noticed while studying hardware wallets and seed backups is that most beginners (including me at first) don’t have a clear plan for:

where to store the seed

how many backups to make

how to avoid single points of failure

how to think about inheritance or loss scenarios

So I started sketching an idea for a very simple offline “seed planning” tool that would:

help you map your backup locations (without storing the seed itself)

suggest redundancy levels (1 copy vs 2 vs 3)

model basic loss scenarios (fire, theft, forgotten location)

generate a checklist for safe storage practices

No internet

no seed input

just a planning assistant to think through your setup before you actually store anything.

My goal is purely educational and to help beginners avoid obvious mistakes when moving to self-custody.

For people here who already use hardware wallets:

How did you plan your backup strategy?

Did you think about inheritance and loss scenarios in advance, or figure it out later?

Trying to learn what a good setup looks like before I build anything.
