it’s a great question; when i try to answer it inside my head, i get really nervous. the structure of enough suggests i am a particular “type” of person that i am not.
i generally do not mind giving up my own personal privacy in exchange for access to the latest cool cloud computing tools.
i do not write anything particularly sensitive, much less in need of obfuscation against the prying eyes of corporations or states.
and to be extra clear, i don’t intend to stop using corporation-controlled cloud models or harnesses; enough is not intended to replace those, rather to complement them.
it’s also not a particularly sound “business play.” the core software runs offline and is free. the only potential business model is paid human support – which i admit is both interesting to me and mostly a pipe dream. i’ve simply done my best to plan for any and all “business possibilities,” up to and including success, since the intention is for enough to be useful and usable for a long time.
the best answer is that i want writers to write more and more personally, and i think enough can help … even for writers wary of “ai solutions.” what i’ve tried to build is more of a tool to help you identify your own writing preferences than a solution to any particular problem.
the other, equally honest answer to this question is: i want other non-technical people to be able to experience the satisfaction i have gotten out of these new technologies, and/or to understand (and control) how they work as holistically as possible, all without having to give their data or money to large frontier model corporations.
