remove unused site-docs/public/html/ static build artifact The html/ directory was generated by build.sh via pandoc as a local-preview artifact. It was never mounted to any route in lib.rs (only /static and /rustdoc are nest_service'd as ServeDir; docs are served via DocLoader at /docs/{slug} from the markdown directly, with assumptions.substitute running in pre_process). 73 stale HTML files shipping literal {{...}} markers for every substitution added in recent commits. No code path reaches them. Delete rather than maintain a parallel build pipeline that would need to call docengine before pandoc. If offline HTML distribution is wanted later, regenerate with a build.sh that pre-processes through docengine first.

14 - <h1>Account Deactivation and Deletion<span class="dot">.</span></h1>
15 - <p>Two ways to step away: deactivation (temporary, reversible) and
16 - deletion (permanent).</p>
17 - <h2 id="deactivation">Deactivation</h2>
18 - <p>Deactivating hides your profile, projects, and items from public view
19 - (Discover, search, feeds). Content is preserved, not deleted. You can’t
20 - perform creator actions while deactivated.</p>
21 - <p><strong>To deactivate:</strong></p>
22 - <p>Go to Settings and click “Deactivate Account.”</p>
23 - <p><strong>To reactivate:</strong></p>
24 - <p>Log in and click “Reactivate Account.” Everything comes back exactly
25 - as it was. No time limit on how long you can stay deactivated.</p>
26 - <h2 id="deletion">Deletion</h2>
27 - <p>Deleting your account is permanent and cannot be undone.</p>
28 - <p><strong>What happens:</strong></p>
29 - <ul>
30 - <li>Account, profile, projects, and items are removed</li>
31 - <li>If you have completed sales, content stays accessible to buyers for
32 - 90 days (<a href="./guarantees.html">buyer access guarantee</a>)</li>
33 - <li>All buyers are notified by email</li>
34 - <li>After 90 days, content is removed from our servers</li>
35 - <li>Transaction records and receipts are preserved indefinitely (tax and
36 - legal purposes)</li>
37 - </ul>
38 - <p><strong>To delete:</strong></p>
39 - <ol type="1">
40 - <li>Go to Settings and click “Delete Account”</li>
41 - <li>An email confirmation link is sent to your registered email</li>
42 - <li>Click the link to open the confirmation page</li>
43 - <li>Confirm deletion on the page (this two-step process prevents
44 - accidental deletion from email link prefetch)</li>
45 - </ol>
46 - <p>The email link is time-limited and signed. If it expires, request a
47 - new one.</p>
48 - <p><strong>If you’re a creator with no sales</strong>, deletion is
49 - immediate.</p>
50 - <h2 id="before-you-delete">Before You Delete</h2>
51 - <ul>
52 - <li><strong>Export your data</strong> first: Settings &gt; Data Export.
53 - See the <a href="./export.html">Export guide</a>.</li>
54 - <li><strong>Cancel your creator tier fee separately</strong>: deletion
55 - does not automatically cancel Stripe billing. (If you forget, contact
56 - support.)</li>
57 - <li><strong>Download your files</strong>: once content is removed, it’s
58 - gone.</li>
59 - </ul>
60 - <h2 id="what-buyers-should-know">What Buyers Should Know</h2>
61 - <p>If a creator you purchased from deletes their account:</p>
62 - <ul>
63 - <li>You receive an email notification</li>
64 - <li>Your purchased content remains accessible for 90 days</li>
65 - <li>Download everything during this window</li>
66 - <li>Transaction records and receipts stay on your account

15 - <p>Your dashboard at <code>/dashboard</code> shows your projects,

17 - <h2 id="earnings-overview">Earnings Overview</h2>
18 - <p>Three stat cards at the top:</p>
19 - <ul>
20 - <li><strong>Revenue</strong>: Total earnings for the selected period,
21 - with percentage change vs. the prior period</li>
22 - <li><strong>Sales</strong>: Transaction count for the selected
23 - period</li>
24 - <li><strong>Followers</strong>: Current follower count with change over

31 - <h3 id="reading-the-numbers">Reading the Numbers</h3>
32 - <p><strong>Revenue up, sales flat:</strong> Average transaction value
33 - increased (higher-priced items or above-minimum PWYW).</p>
34 - <p><strong>Revenue flat, sales up:</strong> More transactions at lower
35 - values. Check whether a free item is driving traffic.</p>
36 - <p><strong>Revenue down:</strong> Check per-project analytics to see
37 - which project’s sales dropped.</p>
38 - <p><strong>Followers increasing:</strong> Check what you published or
39 - shared recently – that’s what’s working.</p>
40 - <h2 id="revenue-chart">Revenue Chart</h2>
41 - <p>Bar chart showing revenue over time, bucketed by day, week, or month
42 - depending on your selected range. Available at the dashboard level (all
43 - projects combined) and per-project.</p>
44 - <h2 id="per-project-analytics">Per-Project Analytics</h2>
45 - <p>Each project has its own analytics tab showing:</p>
46 - <ul>

67 - <li><strong>Download count</strong>: total file downloads</li>
68 - </ul>
69 - <p>High plays with low purchases might mean the price isn’t right, or

14 - <h1>Developer API Overview<span class="dot">.</span></h1>
15 - <p>Makenot.work provides four APIs for building integrations, desktop
16 - applications, and developer tools: session-based (web dashboard),
17 - SyncKit JWT (cloud sync and OTA), OAuth2 PKCE (third-party apps), and a
18 - public License Key API. This page covers authentication methods, error
19 - handling, and rate limits shared across all endpoints.</p>
20 - <h2 id="authentication-methods">Authentication Methods</h2>
21 - <h3 id="session-cookies">Session Cookies</h3>
22 - <p>The primary authentication for the web dashboard. Set via
23 - <code>/login</code>, required for all creator-facing endpoints
24 - (projects, items, files, analytics). Write operations require a CSRF
25 - token in the <code>_csrf</code> form field or <code>X-CSRF-Token</code>
26 - header.</p>
27 - <p>Session-authenticated endpoints are designed for the HTMX frontend.
28 - When called without the <code>HX-Request</code> header, they return JSON
29 - instead of HTML fragments.</p>
30 - <h3 id="synckit-jwt">SyncKit JWT</h3>
31 - <p>Used by <a href="./synckit.html">SyncKit</a> cloud sync and <a

33 - <code>POST /api/sync/auth</code> (email + password + API key) or the <a

35 - <code>Authorization: Bearer &lt;token&gt;</code>. Tokens expire after 7
36 - days.</p>
37 - <h3 id="no-authentication">No Authentication</h3>

70 - <p>When reviewing appeals, we look at:</p>
71 - <ul>
72 - <li><strong>Original context</strong> - Was important context
73 - missed?</li>
74 - <li><strong>Policy interpretation</strong> - Was the policy applied
75 - correctly?</li>
76 - <li><strong>Consistency</strong> - Is this consistent with how we’ve
77 - handled similar cases?</li>
78 - <li><strong>New information</strong> - Did you provide information that
79 - changes the picture?</li>
80 - </ul>

82 - <h2 id="data-access-during-appeals">Data Access During Appeals</h2>
83 - <p>Even if your account is suspended or terminated:</p>

86 - <li>We preserve your data during the appeal window</li>
87 - </ul>
88 - <hr />
89 - <h2 id="limits">Limits</h2>
90 - <p>Some decisions cannot be appealed:</p>
91 - <ul>
92 - <li><strong>Legal requirements</strong> - If we’re legally required to
93 - remove content or terminate an account</li>
94 - <li><strong>Imminent harm</strong> - If we believe content poses
95 - immediate danger to someone</li>
96 - <li><strong>CSAM</strong> - Content involving minors is not subject to
97 - appeal</li>
98 - </ul>
99 - <p>For these cases, we’ll explain why the decision is final.</p>

101 - <h2 id="if-you-disagree-with-the-appeal-outcome">If You Disagree with
102 - the Appeal Outcome</h2>
103 - <p>If your appeal is denied and you believe we made an error, you can
104 - request a second review (once per decision). Provide new information or
105 - arguments not considered the first time; your case will be re-examined
106 - from scratch.</p>

18 - <ul>
19 - <li><strong>Single-creator projects</strong>: your name, your work, your
20 - earnings.</li>
21 - <li><strong>Collaborative projects</strong> need upfront agreement on
22 - splits and who can publish what.</li>
23 - <li><strong>Multiple projects</strong> make sense if you have distinct
24 - bodies of work (a music project and a writing project, for
25 - instance).</li>
26 - </ul>
27 - <h3 id="choose-your-pricing-model">Choose Your Pricing Model</h3>
28 - <p>Consider:</p>
29 - <p><strong>Free works when:</strong></p>
30 - <ul>
31 - <li>You’re building an audience</li>
32 - <li>The content is promotional</li>
33 - <li>You want maximum reach</li>
34 - </ul>
35 - <p><strong>Fixed price works when:</strong></p>
36 - <ul>
37 - <li>You’re selling a complete work (album, book, course)</li>
38 - <li>You want simple, predictable transactions</li>
39 - <li>The value is clear upfront</li>
40 - </ul>
41 - <p><strong>Pay-what-you-want works when:</strong></p>
42 - <ul>
43 - <li>You want to lower the barrier but capture willing supporters</li>
44 - <li>Your audience has mixed ability to pay</li>
45 - <li>You’re comfortable with variability</li>
46 - </ul>
47 - <p><strong>Memberships work when:</strong></p>
48 - <ul>
49 - <li>You release regularly</li>
50 - <li>You want predictable monthly income</li>
51 - <li>You’re building ongoing relationships with fans</li>
52 - </ul>
53 - <p>See <a href="./pricing.html">Pricing Models</a> for setup
54 - details.</p>
55 - <h2 id="pricing-strategy">Pricing Strategy</h2>
56 - <h3 id="dont-undervalue-your-work">Don’t Undervalue Your Work</h3>
57 - <p>Since we don’t take a cut, you keep more per sale. You can price
58 - lower while earning the same, price the same while earning more, or
59 - experiment freely without losing margin to the platform.</p>
60 - <h3 id="use-free-strategically">Use Free Strategically</h3>
61 - <p>Free items can showcase your work, build your audience before
62 - monetizing, or complement paid offerings (free singles, paid albums).
63 - But don’t default to free. Your work has value.</p>
64 - <h2 id="building-your-audience">Building Your Audience</h2>
65 - <h3 id="how-fans-find-your-work">How Fans Find Your Work</h3>
66 - <p>Makenot.work uses <a
67 - href="./discovery.html#discovery-through-exploration">Discovery Through
68 - Exploration</a> – fans find you through search, tags, follows, and
69 - direct sharing. See <a href="./discovery.html">Discovery</a> for the
70 - full list of channels and how they work.</p>
71 - <p>Invest in good tagging: accurate genres, descriptive tags, complete
72 - metadata. This is how fans browsing for “ambient electronic” or “short
73 - fiction” will find your work.</p>
74 - <h3 id="your-existing-audience-still-matters">Your Existing Audience
75 - Still Matters</h3>
76 - <p>Search and tags mean new fans can find you, but don’t rely on
77 - discovery as your primary growth channel. Bring your people with
78 - you.</p>
79 - <h3 id="follows">Follows</h3>
80 - <p>Fans can follow your account, individual projects, or tags. Follows
81 - power their personal feed. Following is free and doesn’t require a
82 - purchase – encourage your audience to follow you.</p>
83 - <h3 id="broadcast-email">Broadcast Email</h3>
84 - <p>Send a plain-text email update to all your followers (one per 24
85 - hours, with signed unsubscribe URL). Compose from your creator
86 - dashboard.</p>
87 - <p>Use broadcasts sparingly – genuine announcements, not routine
88 - updates.</p>
89 - <h3 id="contact-sharing">Contact Sharing</h3>
90 - <p>When fans purchase from you and opt in to share their email, you get
91 - a direct line to them outside the platform – the most durable audience
92 - you can build. See <a href="./contact-sharing.html">Contact Sharing</a>
93 - for details.</p>
94 - <h3 id="direct-purchase-links">Direct Purchase Links</h3>
95 - <p>Every item gets a dedicated purchase link at
96 - <code>/buy/{item_id}</code> – a clean page with just the cover, title,
97 - price, and a buy button. Use these for link-in-bio, newsletter CTAs,
98 - social media posts, and QR codes on physical media. Fans can purchase
99 - without an account via <a href="./03-selling.html#guest-checkout">guest
100 - checkout</a>.</p>
101 - <h2 id="practical-tips">Practical Tips</h2>
102 - <h3 id="set-expectations">Set Expectations</h3>
103 - <p>Tell fans what they’re getting: how often you release, what
104 - membership includes, what’s free vs. paid. Clear expectations reduce
105 - refunds and build trust.</p>
106 - <h3 id="have-a-refund-policy">Have a Refund Policy</h3>
107 - <p>You control refund decisions. Consider adding a brief refund policy
108 - to your profile or project description. Examples of refund policies for
109 - digital goods:</p>
110 - <ul>
111 - <li><strong>No refunds after download</strong> (standard for digital
112 - content)</li>
113 - <li><strong>Refunds within 24-48 hours if not downloaded</strong>
114 - (generous, builds trust)</li>
115 - <li><strong>Case-by-case</strong> (flexible, but takes more time)</li>
116 - </ul>
117 - <p>Whatever you choose, state it clearly before purchase. A visible
118 - refund policy reduces chargebacks ($15 fee per dispute) and sets
119 - expectations. See <a href="./payouts.html#refunds">Payouts</a> for the
120 - mechanics of how refunds work.</p>
121 - <h3 id="export-regularly">Export Regularly</h3>
122 - <p>Export everything periodically: content, metadata, fan contacts,
123 - transaction history.</p>
124 - <h3 id="watch-your-stats">Watch Your Stats</h3>
125 - <p>Your dashboard shows revenue trends, per-project breakdowns, and
126 - per-item performance. See <a href="./analytics.html">Analytics</a>.</p>
127 - <h3 id="respond-to-fans">Respond to Fans</h3>
128 - <p>Direct relationships mean direct responsibility. When fans reach out,
129 - respond. This is the tradeoff for owning the relationship.</p>

14 - <h1>Shopping Cart<span class="dot">.</span></h1>
15 - <p>Add items from multiple creators to a single cart and check out in
16 - one flow.</p>
17 - <h2 id="adding-items">Adding Items</h2>
18 - <p>Click <strong>Add to Cart</strong> on any item page. Items persist
19 - across sessions and devices. Each item can only appear once in your
20 - cart. To remove an item, click the remove button on the cart page or
21 - toggle the cart button on the item page.</p>
22 - <h2 id="cart-page">Cart Page</h2>
23 - <p>Your cart groups items by creator. Each group shows a subtotal and
24 - Stripe processing fee estimate (~2.9% + $0.30). The platform fee is
25 - always $0.</p>
26 - <p>If you have items on your <a href="./fan-guide.html">wishlist</a>,
27 - suggestions appear below your cart with quick “Add to Cart” buttons.</p>
28 - <h2 id="pay-what-you-want-in-cart">Pay-What-You-Want in Cart</h2>
29 - <p>Items with pay-what-you-want pricing show an inline price input. Set
30 - any amount at or above the creator’s minimum. The maximum is $10,000 per
31 - item. Your chosen amount is saved automatically.</p>
32 - <h2 id="checkout">Checkout</h2>
33 - <p>Two options:</p>
34 - <ul>
35 - <li><strong>Single creator</strong>: Click <strong>Checkout</strong>
36 - under a specific creator’s items to pay for just that group</li>
37 - <li><strong>All creators</strong>: Click <strong>Checkout All</strong>
38 - to process every creator in sequence</li>
39 - </ul>
40 - <p>Each creator gets a separate Stripe Checkout session routed to their
41 - connected account. After completing one, you’re automatically directed
42 - to the next. Items are removed from your cart as each payment
43 - completes.</p>
44 - <p>If checkout is interrupted partway through a multi-creator flow,
45 - completed purchases are saved and remaining items stay in your cart for
46 - later.</p>
47 - <h2 id="promo-codes">Promo Codes</h2>
48 - <p>Enter a promo code in the checkout form for a specific creator’s
49 - items. Discount and free access codes work in cart checkout. Free trial
50 - codes are for subscriptions only and cannot be used in the cart.</p>
51 - <p>If a code reduces an item to $0, that item is claimed as a free
52 - purchase before the Stripe session starts.</p>
53 - <p>Promo codes cannot be applied to pay-what-you-want items.</p>
54 - <h2 id="limits-and-edge-cases">Limits and Edge Cases</h2>
55 - <ul>
56 - <li>No hard limit on cart size, but items must be public and available
57 - at checkout time</li>
58 - <li>Unpublished or deleted items are automatically removed</li>
59 - <li>Items you already own are filtered out at checkout</li>
60 - <li>If a creator has paused their account, checkout for their items is
61 - blocked until they resume</li>
62 - <li>Stale cart items (older than 90 days) are cleaned up
63 - automatically</li>

416 - <p>Break-even is <code>subscription / platform-percentage</code>. Below
417 - that revenue, the percentage-cut platform costs you less; above it, the
418 - flat fee wins and the gap widens with every dollar earned. The ranges
419 - above span the Basic tier ($16) at the low end to Everything ($60) at
420 - the high end.</p>

422 - <h2 id="what-we-dont-do">What We Don’t Do</h2>
423 - <p>Things other platforms offer that we deliberately exclude:</p>
424 - <ul>
425 - <li><strong>Algorithmic feed</strong>: Content shown by fan choices, not
426 - engagement metrics</li>
427 - <li><strong>Promoted listings</strong>: No paid placement in search or
428 - discover</li>
429 - <li><strong>DRM</strong>: Purchased files are yours, unencrypted,
430 - forever</li>
431 - <li><strong>Advertising</strong>: No ads on your pages or your fans’
432 - experience</li>
433 - <li><strong>Behavioral tracking</strong>: No profiles, no
434 - fingerprinting, no cross-site tracking</li>
435 - </ul>
436 - <p>These are design decisions, not missing features. See <a
437 - href="./guarantees.html">What We Guarantee</a> for binding
438 - commitments.</p>
439 - <hr />
440 - <h2 id="when-were-not-the-right-fit">When We’re Not the Right Fit</h2>
441 - <p>Be honest about what you need:</p>
442 - <ul>
443 - <li><strong>You need algorithmic amplification.</strong> If you have no
444 - existing audience and need a platform to surface your work via
445 - recommendations, Bandcamp’s editorial picks or YouTube’s algorithm will
446 - serve you better today.</li>
447 - <li><strong>You earn under $107/month.</strong> A 10-15% cut costs less
448 - than our $16 minimum. itch.io’s optional revenue share (including 0%) is
449 - hard to beat at small scale.</li>
450 - <li><strong>You need community features.</strong> If comments, polls,
451 - and DMs with fans are core to your model, Patreon has those. We have
452 - forums.</li>
453 - <li><strong>You sell physical products.</strong> We don’t handle
454 - shipping, inventory, or physical fulfillment.</li>
455 - </ul>
456 - <p>We’d rather you pick the right platform than sign up and be
457 - disappointed.</p>

15 - <p>When a fan buys from you, they can choose to share their email – a
16 - direct line to your audience that doesn’t depend on any platform,
17 - including this one.</p>
18 - <h2 id="how-it-works">How It Works</h2>
19 - <ol type="1">
20 - <li>Fan purchases one of your items</li>
21 - <li>During checkout, they see: “Share my email with the creator”</li>
22 - <li>If they opt in, their email appears in your contact list</li>
23 - </ol>
24 - <p>The choice appears at every checkout. A fan can share on one purchase
25 - and decline on the next. Each decision applies only to that
26 - transaction.</p>
27 - <p>Fans who don’t check the box remain anonymous in your records. They
28 - can still reach you through the platform for support – it just means you
29 - can’t contact them directly.</p>

45 - <h2 id="the-trust-dynamic">The Trust Dynamic</h2>
46 - <p>Fans who share their email are extending trust. That trust is easy to
47 - break and hard to rebuild.</p>
48 - <p><strong>Do:</strong></p>
49 - <ul>
50 - <li>Email when you have something to say (new release, important update,
51 - genuine news)</li>
52 - <li>Keep emails infrequent enough that each one feels worth opening</li>
53 - <li>Make unsubscribing easy (every newsletter service handles this)</li>
54 - </ul>
55 - <p><strong>Don’t:</strong></p>
56 - <ul>
57 - <li>Email daily or weekly unless you established that cadence
58 - upfront</li>
59 - <li>Share fan emails with third parties</li>
60 - <li>Add people to multiple lists without asking</li>
61 - <li>Send purely promotional content with no substance</li>
62 - </ul>
63 - <p>One good email per release beats ten forgettable ones per month.</p>

65 - <h3 id="why-share-your-email">Why Share Your Email?</h3>
