I’m happy to see another project monetizing built executables. I feel like it’s not a popular option to many, but to me I think it’s the best way to getting financial support from enterprises that would be more than happy to leech.

Thanks! for us monetization is more about signal - people who spend $20 are the ones who really want this to work, and we want to build for them. We have a private Discord with our Pro users where we discuss what to build next, share feedback and tips and tricks.

What's the story on local-only operation with a paid subscription? If it works like it seems to from the screen shots and video, I'm more than happy to pay for this even while using the OSS version (and I probably am going to modify it myself quite a bit for my own use-cases), but in my work environment:

1. Absolutely nothing can be sent off-site

2. All AI API requests must go through our custom gateway (we've got deals with all the major AI providers, and I think that even involves a degree of isolated hosting in specific approved cloud environments)

While $20/mo feels a bit weird for an app that doesn't rely on its own cloud service, I'd subscribe right now just because I do "really want this to work".
