@blumenkraft They added a monthly tier a year (2?) in, which is when I signed up. Cost more, but it let me not worry about when the service was going to disappear. :)
@tewha you can become a Pnut patreon [www.patreon.com]. and there are plans to implement a files API. this would be a payed service. i think money will not be the problem. we need more patreons though.
