Your platform archiving features are definitely an inspiration. I’m curious, what kind of storage space does that use, and how much does it grow on a monthly basis? What have you budgeted for archiving per account?
A note on the routine fixing with our plugin: It also self-heals, stopping redirects if the links come back. We thought that an important part. We also handle the redirects via JS on the front end so that if someone decides to stop using the plugin, their original post content is unchanged. Trying to avoid lock-in as much as possible.
A project I used to love is Amber Link from the Berkman Klein Center, which takes a similar approach to Micro.blog and saves snapshots on the WP site itself: https://github.com/berkmancenter/amber_wordpress
The plugin doesn’t work anymore, perhaps I should fork it and make it compatible with modern WP.
