I'm going to die N decades from now, where N is hopefully "several" or a similar order of magnitude.

if I pay you for this service...what stops you from closing up shop a year or two from now, and just walking away with the money?

Thank you for this question. I won't give an answer like "I won't close up" or "walking away with money". What my plan is try to make this website alive as long as I can, but if really sad story happen, my back up plan is allow every user directly download PDF(after unlock by user itself since we dont have it). That is why I am trying to collecting more user experience and fix it until fulfill of majority users. thank you.

For those of us with a technical bent, the answer would be to allow self-hosting even on a removable device. That way, you could go titsup on your own, and as long as the system is simple and has no need to be upgraded over long time scales (compiled cross-platform binaries instead of scripting languages that constantly go EoL), said software would continue to run for the user indefinitely.

Hell, I have a video game package from 1991 - Moraff Games - that still works perfectly fine on the latest Win11 for Workstations (44C/88T, 256Gb). So it can be done, especially if you craft the installer to be a suggestion rather than a requirement (some really old ones no longer work right, and I have to manually extract and install those programs).

Thank you for advise. do you recommend that can keep it as HTML if someone really needs it? I already standby for this function but was for "non-AI" version.

Exports should remain encrypted, for protection.

What should accompany the export is a cross-platform binary that has no dependencies (a 2026 binary could still run on Windows 18 in 2045, for example), and whose sole purpose is to decrypt and display that export once the proper credentials (password, etc.) have been provided. With options to print or provide access to copy-paste.

this is good to learn! I will take it as a important note and process, but this service will at least survived 5 years for sure. can you also try to use it? if this is a useful service for you? thank you.
