What it runs
What support keeps online
Chip-ins buy headroom for scans, source refreshes, queues, storage, and abuse guardrails. Giving never buys report placement, private access, or a faster verdict.
Scans and archived reports0 pending / 0 active0 queue jobs completed in 24h; manual scans stay available during backoff.
Source maintenance37 source lanes187 feed articles; about 66 public requests per refresh.
Fail-closed safetyDB-backed capsSpend tracking is db backed live when database configured. Route limits stop uncapped work.
Chip in
Keep scans free
One-time, no account, no subscription. Gifts do not unlock features or influence reports; they just keep the public scanner online.
