Thanks! We're currently focusing on breaking even and becoming self sustaining. With scale we're hopeful that we'll be able to reduce the prices.

Have been hoping for something like this for probably a decade – and your product looks great.

Also have a question about the pricing. I’m happy to pay at the current tiers, especially to help getting y’all bootstrapped. But I’m curious if reducing the pricing will be an objective for you as you scale? I’m not sure I see myself maintaining the current expense indefinitely or it making it easy to recommend to less technical friends/family.

The idea behind the project is to make privacy accessible. We are hopeful that we'll be able to lower the price points as we scale up and still remain profitable.

yes! googol is cheaper and the bottom line matters to lot of people. perhaps this is a good way to ask people whether they'd pay additional 5-10$ for privacy.

I reckon, BYO object store.
