 9## what's with the pricing model?
10
11I just didn't feel like integrating the Stripe API. I also think it's
12nicer this way. Not everyone might derive $5 (or any fixed amount) worth
13of value from forlater; maybe you didn't save as many articles this
14month to warrant paying $5. And some simply can't afford to pay a fixed
15amount, or at all.

17## how is this better than Pocket?
18
19Let's see...
20
21- You own your data. It lives right in your inbox!
22- You don't need yet another account or app. Just simple email.
23- We're open source!
24
25That said, Pocket has a full-fledged engineering team working on it, so
26their article parsing is probably better.

28## are you tracking me?!
29
30Nope. You can audit our code [here](https://github.com/forlater-email).
31However, for the moment, we're using [Mailgun](https://mailgun.com) for
32outbound email. All tracking is turned off, and we only use the SMTP
33relay.
34
35I'd really like to move away from them and host my own server, in
36the near future.

38## are you open source?
39
40Yes, as mentioned previously (twice!), we are open source -- licensed
41under (A)GPL. See:

46## you keep saying 'we'; how many of you are there?!
47
48I'm just [one guy](https://icyphox.sh). 'We' just sounded right, I
49guess.  Feel free to email me at [x@icyphox.sh](mailto:x@icyphox.sh) to
50report any issues.
