Fireship got hacked. Ticketmaster had user info stolen. et al, so when I see:

I'm 50% sold by these principles alone.

It's 2024 and not being a data creep is a product feature now.

Thank you.

You're very welcome. I wanted to build a product I would use, and being hands-off about customer data is a big part of that. (I was trying to use another code search tool and bailed because it wanted me to sign into Github just to use it locally.) So Asqi will always be designed with that sensibility, including commercial versions which also will never phone home -- licensing will be airgap-compatible.
Fireship or firebase?
Firebase. Thanks. Got it swapped for the YouTube channel.
