Persists the branding/commercial/infrastructure work (previously only in chat and on the live site) into version control. What changed: - docs/naming.md: due-diligence and the decision to brand the product Nightjar (OpenScribe domain/GitHub/trademark collisions; alternatives screened; why Nightjar). - docs/hosted-service.md: the commercial model - plan tiers (Self-host / Cloud Starter / Cloud Pro / Private), indicative pricing, backend mapping, and the build-to-sell roadmap (metering, billing, provisioning, DPA). - docs/infrastructure.md: backend infra plan. Primary option = self-host on the 3x Minisforum MS-02 cluster (one with an RTX 3050 6GB) fronted by a Cloudflare Tunnel, with node roles, the 3050 capacity reality, caveats, and a Hetzner cloud fallback. Provision-later. - site/: reproducible marketing-site source - block content for all 11 pages (rebranded to Nightjar), the navigation, the Contact Form 7 config (honeypot), the ApisCP SOAP helper (tools/apiscp.php, no secret), and a README on how the WordPress site is built and managed via the API. - state/: DECISIONS (Nightjar rebrand, hosted service, MS-02 backend), PROJECT (brand + commercial section), TODO (rename decision, trademark, mailbox, pricing, hosted-service build, infra provisioning). Why: - User asked to save everything to the repo. Captures the product rebrand, the commercialisation plan, and the infrastructure decision so a cold session has the full picture. Notes: - The repo is still named `openscribe`; the product/brand is Nightjar. A full codebase rename is deferred (tracked in TODO + docs/naming.md). - No secrets committed: the ApisCP API key is read from a local scratch file, never the repo.

# Nightjar hosted service (commercial)
|
|
|
|
How 12 Hobbies Studio commercialises the open-source project: a managed backend so people
|
|
can use Nightjar without self-hosting. The device and app stay open; the studio runs the
|
|
transcription, summaries, storage and API.
|
|
|
|
Status: **marketing site live, service in preparation.** No billing/signup yet; the site
|
|
captures leads (register interest). Pricing below is **indicative**.
|
|
|
|
## Plan lineup (live on the site)
|
|
|
|
| Plan | Price (indicative) | AI backend | Notes |
|
|
|------|--------------------|-----------|-------|
|
|
| **Self-host** | Free, forever | your own | full source + docs, community support |
|
|
| **Cloud Starter** | from GBP 6/mo | commercial API | 10 hrs audio/mo, 10 GB, email support |
|
|
| **Cloud Pro** | from GBP 18/mo | commercial API | 40 hrs/mo, priority, 100 GB, team sharing |
|
|
| **Private** | from GBP 39/mo | self-hosted open models | audio never touches a 3rd-party AI; DPA |
|
|
|
|
The Cloud tiers use best-in-class commercial AI (cheap per-minute, good margin). The
|
|
Private tier processes everything on our own hardware (see `docs/infrastructure.md`) for a
|
|
privacy / sovereignty guarantee. All hosted data kept in the EU/UK.
|
|
|
|
## Placeholders to confirm before launch
|
|
|
|
- **Contact mailbox:** the site's forms/CTAs use `hello@12hobbies.studio` - create that
|
|
mailbox or change it.
|
|
- **Real pricing + quotas:** the numbers above are indicative.
|
|
- **Trademark clearance** for "Nightjar" (see `docs/naming.md`).
|
|
|
|
## Roadmap to actually sell it (not built yet)
|
|
|
|
- Metering (hours of audio, storage) per account.
|
|
- Signup + billing (e.g. Stripe) wired to plan entitlements.
|
|
- Provisioning: create a tenant, route jobs to the right backend (commercial vs Private
|
|
node), enforce quotas.
|
|
- Provision the backend infra (`docs/infrastructure.md`) at first beta / paying users.
|
|
- Data-processing agreement + retention policy for the Private tier.
|
|
|
|
## Marketing site
|
|
|
|
Built in WordPress on ApisCP (`howler.qsplace.co.uk`), served at
|
|
`nightjar.12hobbies.studio`. Reproducible content and build notes are in `site/`.
