That’s a really good suggestion, thank you for your support 🙏

ShoshannaTM laughed at this and said:

“Ask partner out on date, and check their wardrobe to suggest an outfit for the outing”

At this point we don’t have a concrete plan, but for the sustainability of the project I would like to monetize it eventually.

As of now we do have a ko-fi donation page set up and linked in the repo though.

What I do know for sure though is that it’s important to me that the selfhosted deployments always be maintained as full featured as possible. I’m a selfhoster myself and have been doing so for many years. I’ve thought a lot about this subject and really don’t want to f it up.

I really like the Bitwarden, Immich, or ghost blog model. “Want to use our convenient cloud hosted instance? Toss us a few bucks a year to support development. Otherwise selfhost it and you’ll still get the same full experience… it just might take a bit of work.”

I’m entertaining some kind of paid plan for professional stylists on the public cloud instance.

The selfhoster will always be our core audience though. It takes actual effort to selfhost and invest in open source, so those who do so will remain first and foremost. And ideally this good will may result in positive recommendations for our cloud offerings down the road to those less inclined to self host.
