Definitely not rescuing an online tool from archive.org, slapping it down in some hosting space I own, and field-stripping it into serviceability because it had become a part of my workflow and its creator got so mad about AI that he chucked his whole website to go live on a mountain or embrace the life of the humble dairy farmer, nosir.
That doesn't sound like how *I'd* spend a Saturday afternoon. You must be thinking of someone else.
(When I'm done with this, I intend to give the creator some credit - if I can figure out how, they seemed to like being anonymous. But I don't think I'll be publishing the URL, because they made a valid point: hosting costs money, and getting popular on the Internet can be a very double-edged sword. I'm lucky that my hosting is still from a grandfathered account from the early aughts where the baseload is a flat fee and if I blow up online one day they'll just pause the server and go "Mr. Tomczak, you took all our bits, we have to cut you off for the rest of this month, sorry.")
