#2Your github is still just a clone of a doc generator tool, maybe just dont link it until there's something there. Leaves a bad first impression.

#3The landing page doesn't mention self-hosting, is it an option considered for the future?
Maybe the AI revolution placed convenience over data ownership, but there's no way I'm giving full read access to my databases to a third party.

#4Interesting!
Any idea of what will be the pricing? Is it going to be a service that's also available for small userbases (does the pricing scale down)?
What does "real time" means, are we talking about minutes or seconds?
Finally, how does it work for data that needs to be joined, should I create prejoined tables locally?

#5Your signup form isn’t working on iOS. Would be great to give this a go!

#6> Say goodbye to the complexity of crafting queries by code.
IDK about this angle, just because elasticsearch / SQL has fucky syntax doesn't mean that crafting queries in code is something we wanna say goodbye to?
I like what Google Malloy has done, it made writing things in code enjoyable by reinventing the syntax and language, but keeping it compatible with existing tech.
Otherwise this is cool! I found it daunting as a newcomer to search thinking about optimizing search and making sense of how users use it.
But even with elasticsearch, it was not that hard to craft queries to do a faceted search and it was cheap and easy to setup, so the value I see is more in the analysis. And if you're going beyond a faceted search with basic group and / or logic, then isn't vector searches the way to go anyway?
I'm probably missing something!

Vector search is no replacement for complex logic, its merely another data type like bm25 ir regular range filter.
Searchbase looks to me as better fit for intuitive data exploration, rather than replacing existing robust high throughput searches

#8Benchmarks? Multi-tenancy?

#9What I struggle with solutions like this is permissions. When having a permission system like row level security in place for sql, how to rewrite all this logic for the search queries?

I’m also interested in how to handle this. And not just rls but any authorization mechanism.
