For those of us with a technical bent, the answer would be to allow self-hosting even on a removable device. That way, you could go titsup on your own, and as long as the system is simple and has no need to be upgraded over long time scales (compiled cross-platform binaries instead of scripting languages that constantly go EoL), said software would continue to run for the user indefinitely. Hell, I have a video game…

Thank you for advise. do you recommend that can keep it as HTML if someone really needs it? I already standby for this function but was for "non-AI" version.

Exports should remain encrypted, for protection.

What should accompany the export is a cross-platform binary that has no dependencies (a 2026 binary could still run on Windows 18 in 2045, for example), and whose sole purpose is to decrypt and display that export once the proper credentials (password, etc.) have been provided. With options to print or provide access to copy-paste.
