- shadows1 10mo agoGood luck with your future mim data sniffing or selective takeovers, I guess? Not sure what the business model would be, unless you’re planning on injecting ads, which would be funny.

- charlie-83 10mo agoUnless the author is insanely rich, they probably don't want to spend increasingly large amounts on hosting unless they have a way to make money back (even if it's just to break even).
- klipitkas 10mo agoI am not rich and I don't need to be to keep this service up and running at least for the near future.
- pcthrowaway 10mo agoTo keep this up and running for 2-3 years, you probably do need to be rich, or to find a way to monetize. It's possible when it gets to be a drain, even charging pennies for the service could drive off the bad actors making it unsustainable though.
- klipitkas 10mo agoFor the foreseeable future and unless there is massive abuse, which I am trying to contain, it will remain free.
- klipitkas 10mo agoThanks, but I don't have such plans, lol.
- zarzavat 10mo agoThe question is, how is it sustainable? Nobody likes being rug pulled. Why not charge money for it? I'd rather pay a few dollars for a service that will be around 5 years from now, than pay nothing and have to deal with churn.
- klipitkas 10mo agoI can't promise anything this is a pet project. I might turn it into an open source project, and I might also provide some kind of service for a few bucks if it gets traction.
