I love the straightforward simplicity. Curious if you can explain the name. (DryMerge may be a concept I'm unfamiliar with.)

Haha so originally we were in dev tools, and we liked the idea of merging APIs without hassle. So we thought a fitting name was something like DRYMerge (Don't repeat yourself, merge). We really liked the name and decided to keep it after our pivot.

I took it to mean safety (it doesn’t do anything to your data without showing you what it’ll do first, e.g. an initial dry run.)
Seems like a cool tool; I’m looking forward to playing with it.

I really like this interpretation actually, I'll stick with that when people ask what it means nowadays!
