Hi!

Yeah, it seems like we've identified similar problems and addressed them in reasonably similar ways. Likewise, I've went with SQLite as the project file format, with the files being compressed when saving so that users can transfer/share the project files easier.

Thanks for the insight on the pricing. I've been working under the assumption that if a few people on my team at work wanted to spend $100US each on tools, that they think would improve their productivity, it'd be a no-brainer and easy to justify.

I definitely think that more competition in this space is good for the industry as a whole, and likewise wish you the best of luck!

We don't currently compress data but we might at some point. We found that the most significant speed increase is by splitting the data into multiple files. Otherwise it becomes very slow at 10-20GB range.

Yes and your 400$ plan is a good idea. But we did the math at 100$ (Port Swigger financial records are public) and it is not easy to make them work as a full time gig. And it's not really possible to get funded just for that market, it would need to 10x to be VC viable.

If you ever want to talk further, do shot me an email (emile [@] caido.io).
