thanks for taking time and commenting :) we'd still be happy if you decided to use it and give us your thoughts. as I mentioned in one of the comments below, we're hoping to go open source in future :)
Let me know when it's open source and I'd be happy to give it a try! It doesn't even have to be free - I'm fine with Unreal's model where you get access to the source even though commercial use requires a paid license.
I want something running locally on my machine that doesn't rely on calling home.
Give me one reason to use a closed-source Redis alternative rather than one of many open ones, starting with KeyDB. If I wanted a closed clone, I'd probably go with DragonflyDB (whose license is "feel free to run it in production unless you offer it as a managed redis service").
That's just lip service, either you intend to or you don't, it's not up to hope
We hope you will see the dev tooling space is based around open source and you will alienate many potential users by not being open source
