I like your interface aesthetics.

Instead of asking users to download data and reupload, maybe animations using actual CSVs and query artifacts (graphs) are more illustrative for people in a hurry or people who cannot come up with a query question atm?

And the privacy bit would be more convincing if people can see that part of code.

Oh are you referring to the demo projects? Like let the user open a premade project? That's a good idea.

When you say let people see the code, do you mean open sourcing it or showing the key parts of the code on the site?

I could show a what was sent link when the user sends a message, so they can see exactly what was sent to the server.

I don't know whether you would like to disclose the whole source and what you would do if the product takes off, so didn't explicitly ask you to open source. But yeah, show users what was sent would be helpful, better if there's some way users can verify.

I'll think of a good way to do that. Love the idea of a ready made demo project, which will force me to see if there is a good use case for the thing. Appreciate the useful feedback.
