What's the business model here? I'm assuming there's at least a marginal cost. As somebody who enjoys providing the world with free tools, I'm always curious how others handle the situation. Enshittification is real and comes for us all.

Right now, it’s all covered out of pocket. Long-term, I’m considering optional premium features or very minimal ads, but I’m determined to avoid the usual “enshittification” pitfalls. My goal is to keep the core service free and transparent while staying sustainable in the long run.
