This exists now and is free. I’m not saying it’s a good user experience (especially the one week limitation), but it’s definitely possible and legit / legal / free.

Depends on the use case. For the intended purpose it’s not useless, but far from great either.

I apologize, but I don’t understand your question. Can you clarify?
