Very cool! I think about subscription overload pretty frequently, and how something like this could line up with the news industry.
I haven’t seen a product in a while, but I feel like libraries offering news access is about as close as there’s been to a successful product in subscription consolidation.

How do you solve the access control part? Did you build the layer ontop or more like a auth redirect?

Just from a first impression, it seems like credits replace subscription here?
The only difference then is to switch to a pay as you go rather than fixed monthly payments.

Openrouter but for humans. Neat. What is "Janus" btw... never heard of it.

Thanks! JANUS is one of our partners, it's an all-in-one AI chatbot that's cyberpunk themed.
