If this platform dies

The archive is one file holding every record, image and signature. It keeps working, and keeps checking itself, with no server at all. A cheap plain tag or a saved link still lands on this record's address, wherever the site is hosted.

Draft a resale listing

The idea this came from: tap once and the listing writes itself. Here it's a plain template built from the record, with no AI involved yet.
