I agree with the other commenters; I honestly don't think you've figured out how to productize this or even how to communicate it. The database market is saturated with all sorts of solutions, and you don't seem to have found any kind of sweet spot.
As a fairly seasoned database application developer, I'm perplexed by your web site. It's very sparse and requires the reader to watch a bunch of videos. Even then, there's a lack of clarity about what the product does. Apparently this is some kind of Windows-specific desktop application that can load data and let you query it? Is that the only way? Is there a CLI version I can run on Mac or Linux? Is there a server version? What kind of data can it deal with? How many columns and rows does it scale to? And so on.
On the surface, a slick tool to quickly explore data "ad hoc" — as opposed to being the backend for an application running many types of queries — would be useful, but what exactly is the value proposition? It can't be the GUI, which seems rudimentary. You focus a lot on performance, but if I load a bunch of data into SQLite, it doesn't really matter to me if one query takes 100ms or 2000ms to run a query. That's a "one sip of coffee" level of annoyance that is not going to drive me to investigate alternatives. On the other hand, if I have gigabytes — or even terabytes or petabytes — then the problem becomes less tractable, but there are good solutions (PostgreSQL, BigQuery) that I can use to run complex queries in seconds, using my full set of SQL skills. Your web site gives me zero confidence that it's built for that kind of scale and that I would be productive using it in such a case. So what kind of sweet spot does it fill?
Honestly, I think you would get more traction by making it open source and spending more time just describing its possible utility, rather than complaining that people don't understand. The hacker community tends to judge by merit alone, not claims. It is your job to convince people; it's not people's job to convince themselves. As a developer, I'm mildly piqued by the prformance claims, and I would love to learn more about how it organizes and queries data, but I get really suspicious when all that's offered is a magical black box. Even commercial, closed-source databases like Oracle and SQL Server describe their internals in a fair amount of technical detail.
With all due respect, you also come across as combative and even somewhat rude here on Hacker News. If you're not getting the responses you want, maybe there's a reason for that.
The database engine is cross-platform and is capable of running in a number of environments, but so far we only build the Windows version of the browser application. The engine has an API that the browser app calls. Any other app could also call it, but so far we just have a few test programs that run outside the browser GUI. We built a Linux version and tested it, but at this point we just don't have the resources to build and support multiple platforms for every revision.
I have personally built tables with over 100 million rows and over 2000 columns, so it scales pretty well.
I definitely need to work on presentation materials so that developers can better understand what it is and where it can go. I really don't mean to come across as combative, it is just a bit frustrating when people criticize something that they have not personally tried.
