Maintainer-led open source
Proofline currently consists of open-source project repositories, not a
staffed company, emergency response center, public support desk, or public
account service.
Project operation model
Open source and self-hosting
Proofline is maintainer-led open-source work. It is not a company, response center, charity, nonprofit, or production hosted service today.
Experimental · Not an emergency service
Proofline is experimental and does not contact emergency services. Read the safety boundaries.
Self-hosting
The server is local-first by default, using SQLite metadata and local
encrypted blob storage unless optional PostgreSQL, S3-compatible, or
Valkey backends are explicitly configured.
Hosted service costs
If official hosted accounts are offered later, paid subscriptions are
intended to cover infrastructure and operating costs after billing, abuse
controls, security, deployment, and support work exists.
Not a profit-first hosted business
Proofline is not a profit-first hosted software business. Hosted accounts,
if offered, would exist to keep the service available and pay operating
costs, not to build a commercial emergency-response business.
No donation-gated access
Donations do not create accounts, unlock features, provide support,
trigger emergency review, or fund a registered charity/nonprofit status.
Self-hosting has limits
Self-hosting documentation and optional cluster backends do not make the
current API public-ready or emergency-reliable.
Licensing and components
The website and server repositories declare AGPL-3.0-only licensing. The web-client can be a visual reference for this website. Catalyst-derived component source is not part of this static website’s reusable component set.
