Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are identified. The issue is a design mockup seeking feedback on a possible paid DigestBox frontend and its pricing; it does not define an implementation scope or acceptance criteria.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I'm experimenting with different ideas to launch a paid version of ArchiveBox for less technical users. ArchiveBox will always remain free and open source, DigestBox would just be a fancy frontend on top of it that handles cloud hosting and provides a nicer UI.

The revenue would go towards supporting open source ArchiveBox development, and would allow me to work on it full-time.

I'd love to get people's feedback on this concept. Let me know if you like the idea of DigestBox and if you'd use it!

I'm also curious if the $0.01/URL pricing sounds reasonable to people. Assuming each page produces 50mb or less of output, that works out to $120/yr to archive 1000 URLs per month (12k URLs/yr).
