What is the purpose of snas.pw?

This site is a way to make available to everyone any tools that I have developed that I feel others may find useful. In addition it is intended as a portfolio of sorts to illustrate what I can build.

Why is everything free? Is there a catch?

I strongly believe in FOSS. I am not terribly interested in making money on my random side projects. That's not what the site is all about. There isn't any catch, except that the site is hosted on a single tiny server on Digital Ocean so please don't expect miraculous performance.

Now FOSS has been mentioned, if you care about free software and you did not already know note that 'Open Source' != 'FOSS'. Support free alternatives.

I don't believe you. You're collecting data on me, right? Creep!

Yes, to a degree, but not in a Google/Facebook kind of way. The data collected by all different apps is clearly spelled out below. In line with GDPR regulations and not being evil in general, I'll gladly remove your PII on request. Any data that is collected (particularly IP addresses) is mostly for debugging, and also because I am curious to see from whence visitors to some of the sites come.

Chinese Character Practice Sheets

This app saves IP addresses along with the parameters used to create each sheet (characters, size, guidelines, line style). No retention policy is specified for these data, but the server is regularly refreshed and the data are currently deleted when this happens.

You're a true hero! How can I support you?

I will probably set up a method to donate in future for those who wish to support me in development of these apps. For now your eternal adulation means more than cold, hard cash ever could.
