Why some of this costs money​

I want to be direct about why this is paid. There are storage and infrastructure bills involved, but the bigger reason is that recurring income lets me spend more time working on Zaparoo. I'm charging for the maintained online convenience here, not taking local Core features away and selling them back.

More on that in the Warp launch post.
