-        <p>There is no premium tier today. If we ever add one, it follows a single principle: GitHub Store charges only for features that cost us money to run. Anything that runs on your device stays free, forever. The backend is open source and self-hostable.</p>

-        <p>What sponsorship actually covers today:</p>
-        <ul>
-            <li><strong>Backend infrastructure</strong> — Hetzner servers in Frankfurt + Helsinki, Gcore CDN for global delivery, Sentry for server-side error monitoring. This is the real ongoing cost.</li>
-            <li><strong>The domain</strong> — <code>github-store.org</code>. Subdomains like <code>api.github-store.org</code> and <code>discord.github-store.org</code> cost nothing once the apex is paid for.</li>
-            <li><strong>Reserve</strong> — saved for future line items: scaling translation beyond what free APIs handle, Apple Developer enrollment when I turn 18, or covering Windows code-signing ourselves if <a href="https://signpath.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">SignPath Foundation</a> ever stops sponsoring us.</li>
-            <li><strong>Eventually, contributor stipends</strong> — once monthly sponsorship reliably covers infrastructure, anything above the line goes to issue-bounty payouts and contributor stipends.</li>
-        </ul>

-        <p>What sponsorship does <em>not</em> cover today, because these are free for now:</p>
-        <ul>
-            <li>Windows code-signing — sponsored by <a href="https://signpath.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">SignPath Foundation</a> (approved May 2026)</li>
-            <li>Translation APIs — Google Translate free tier handles the current 13 languages; Youdao uses a user-provided key</li>
-            <li>Android signing — local keystore, zero cost</li>
-            <li>Subdomains — cost zero once you own the apex domain</li>
-        </ul>
-
-        <p>I'd rather list this honestly than inflate the budget. The real monthly bill is roughly $25–75/mo. Anything you contribute that exceeds that goes into the reserve or eventually to contributors.</p>
