Thanks, this sounds like a great project! Also, glad dbzer0 was your choice of a community :)

Is there an rogue date where you'll release it to be open source?

Also, seeing you mentioned ad-free, i'm curious about this.

btw the frontend is all open source - the backend will be open source in a month or two after the reqwrite

btw you say “ad free” but I can see an ad in the home

Regarding the download speeds etc, also Anna’s archive was faster time ago but then the more you grow the more you have to take care

So my question is, are there any plans for scaling?

i said annoying ad-free i should have clarified i meant no popup or redirect ads - and yes there are plans for scaling and we have a few different services like you saw sponsoring the project aswell

All states are the enemy, borders are spooks, seek allies worldwide. Borders are not real, the imaginary scars of the owner class, erase them all.
