Description

People might want to store other files on their website (e.g. some.pdf) and just link them. There's currently no UI for that, but we could add support for Attachments on pages or something.

I'd just have concerns storing large files in assets, because Fly.io volume storage is more expensive than S3. So if you have a lot of files, it might still make sense to have your own S3 bucket or something, and then just link from your site.

Need to reflect on that a bit, but generally happy to add a more integrated support for "Attachments".

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by tracing the existing page editing and asset-storage entry points, then compare local volume storage with external S3-style storage. Done means the attachment scope, storage behavior, and linking experience are defined.
