Congrats on the launch!

Product feedback: looks super useful.

Landing page feedback: clear and to the point. I love seeing lots of product screenshots. I’d like to see a section about privacy, especially when the product involves db access and AI. Please consider replacing the carousel. https://shouldiuseacarousel.com/

That site argues that carousels should basically never be used, but personally I hate the design constraints and resulting UX of refresh on hitting bottom of screen (the alternative to carousels).

Something to look at how airbnb uses carousels when showing a listings. There are many listings and you're not necessarily interested enough to click yet, and there's a cognitive cost to leaving and re-entering the search experience, so you can either have a modal or allow a carousel. The carousel is the halfway point between interested enough to investigate further but not interested enough to step into a new visual scene and step back out into the search experience.

Thanks for the feedback. We have a section on data security here: https://visualdb.com/datasecurity/ We are also planning to release a self-hosted version soon, which can be used with intranet databases - this should take care of security concerns.
Yes please. A self hosted version would be great for companies that have strict security rules about data.
This is not their first time. They were previously called https://airforms.com and were posted here multiple times. No sure what HN's rules are on rebrands for Show HNs.
Not a rebrand but a pivot. It is a major overhaul with significant new features such as reporting.
