I Got Tired Of Naming My Scanned Documents So I Built This (and I Have A Question: How Can Open-source Project Be Monetized ?)

Hello guys, i wanted to show my project here because it might interest some people and i think it solve a real problem. Naming scanned documents is a real job now days and it's painful both at home and at office.

So basically, it receives documents via FTP from your network scanner, then processes them using Vision AI to analyze the contents. It generates smart filenames using AI, and automatically uploads everything to cloud storage via WebDAV. (Going to add more protocols in the future)

It also supports Docker, so you can deploy it easily with just a few commands. I’ve been using it myself, and it’s saved a lot of time in organizing scanned documents. The project us fully open-source, there is no paid plan or whatever and you have to self-host it. Feel free to open issues if you find any problem and don't hesitate ton contribute.

So my question is: Do you think is it a good idea to create a paid plan and make a business edition or do you think it will break the reputation or something ?
