## 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.
