Hey there,
I'm in the middle of the design of the permissions layer that will allow to configure user groups and what they can do/see. My intention is to create a base system where additional permissions/limits could be added to satisfy any monetization/limiting need. When I say "any" I really do.
For example, to allow users of group X to access content published from users of Y group two weeks before it goes into general public. What about allow users of "premium" group to automatically implement lossless compression on every image upload, saving storage space. Have you think about charging extra for top tier storage? Like pay $5 extra and get your uploads in the expensive S3 or what about allowing GIF uploads only if you are at least a subscriber?
That kind of sick level of customization is what I'm trying to achieve!
To improve this design process I need you to tell me your ideas on how you think that you toggle the plugs to achieve your monetization needs. That way I can design a system prepared for truly everything.
So, how about if we start making money?
