Hi all! First off I'm a big fan of this project's goal. With hundreds of smaller academic journals disappearing off the internet in the past 20 years, independently archiving scientific data is incredibly important. However, I'm curious, how sustainable is this project? Obviously this is still early days and I'm sure you all have thought about this, but on the Xirva website it's mentioned that the backend is using IPFS and Fleek.co. And Fleek.co storage seems pretty expensive unless I'm missing something? IPFS definitely helps with backing up/distributing the data but unless other interested parties manually pin sets of papers is the main datastore just on Fleek?
