Hi here,
I am the author of the repo mentioned.
I do confirm that this is a "pay to download" file server project ( originally a personal side project)
Sorry if it seems shitty to you, the intent was to build something similar to Agora but with a split between front-end & back-end parts.
As per the comments i'll try to make the intro more explicit.
Any constructive additional feedback will be welcomed of course :)
EDIT : i must admit i'm a bit confused by being qualified as bloatware, but if any insight on how to avoid that kind of features ending being a bloatware i'll take it.
