A paid mode for reliable daily backups (so you get funded and source code can be released)?

If you need more funding for the development of this extension, what do you think about a paid mode with a SINGLE TIME payment model, that would provide the users with constant, reliable backups to a remote service. Google Drive, for example, has limits to the API requests, I think it's 500 write requests per project per day. So it would only be understandable that you needed a little more funding to increase that quota.


I definitely would be willing to pay for that mode, if the single-time payment was reasonable.


This doesn't mean other users couldn't create backups, but it could be limited in some way or only limited to local backups. I've heard a lot of people have had problems with the current export/import system, so I'm a little afraid to start using Sidewise seriously, in case I lose my data.


Also, I know people have been bothering you a lot of about making this project open source and I know you have limited resources and time. But if you got some extra funding, I would hope you could then release the source code to GitHub. I personally would really love to fork the project. :)


Anyway, just a suggestion.
