Motivation

There are two driving factors behind this project:

• In the age of information, all data is ephemeral. Social media platforms frequently delete content, and cloud storage services can become inaccessible and unreliable. Being able to archive important data is very important for preserving personal memories and digital history.
• I will be creating a small encyclopedia for my future family and kids. Therefore, I want to make sure that all the information I gather is preserved and accessible for future reference.

This project aims to provide a reliable solution for archiving important data from various sources, ensuring that users can preserve their digital assets for the long term.
