All 117 inter-node links now use [[file:node-name.org][title]] format which renders as clickable hyperlinks in both Emacs (C-c C-o) and web-based org renderers (Gitea, GitHub). Each node retains its :ID: UUID property for Emacs org-roam database features (backlinks, capturing, node-find). Prev format: [[id:uuid][title]] — Emacs only, dead text on web New format: [[file:name.org][title]] — works everywhere

#+title: Personal Data Store as a Service

|
|
Classic open-core SaaS model (GitLab, Sentry, PlanetScale). The Merkle fact store exposed on Agora can be self-hosted (free, AGPL) or hosted by the early player.
|
|
|
|
- **Free tier (self-hosted):** full AGPL PDS, runs on any Lisp host, full control, no cost
|
|
- **Basic hosted tier:** $10-$20/month, 10GB fact store, 10M queries/month, automated backup, automatic upgrades
|
|
- **Business hosted tier:** $100-$500/month, 100GB+ fact store, unlimited queries, SLA, dedicated relay, compliance logging
|
|
- **Enterprise hosted tier:** $1,000-$10,000/month, air-gapped appliance management, dedicated support, regulatory-compliant data residency, SIEM integration
|
|
|
|
The free self-hosted version drives adoption and trust (you can inspect every line). The hosted version captures value from users who value convenience over control. Bluesky already demonstrated demand at ~$10/month for a simpler PDS.
|
|
|
|
Target: 100K subscribers at $15/month average = $18M/yr recurring, near-zero marginal cost per additional subscriber (the symbolic engine is CPU-bound, not per-user metered).
|
|
|
|
Combined with premium usernames: $28M/yr from Agora services alone before compute marketplace revenue.
