- Reminds me a bit of Snaplet before it embarked on its incredible journey to get acquired by Supabase and shut down.
I like the concept but the painpoint has never been around creating realistic looking emails and such like, but creating data that is realistic in terms of the business domain and in terms of volume.

- Real Test data génération as saas was not a viable business for us.
Developers use their tool or develop a script (with ai or not)
We made it free, the value comes when you can use it in your development process.

The cost of calling a service is also not free.
In all case, all the best in your endeavour.
- Vibe-coded one using LLM (only for semantic understanding of columns). Works well: https://github.com/freakynit/postgre-data-generator

- I have something that gives you the data in CSV/SQL insert statements.
I also provide an option to select how to generate data for specific fields.

UI is a bit clunky - will revamp it :)
- A while ago I worked on a similar idea, it was back when I was learning Rust so not super proud of the code, but I love the name of the tool: https://github.com/gistia/joindoe

- Congrats on being launchable!
I've written seed data scripts a number of times, so I get the need. How do you think about creating larger amounts of data?
E.g., I'm building a statistical product where the seed data needs to be 1M rows; performance differences between implementations start to matter.

- does it handle skewed distributions? faker's always been useless for this - like, your test data ends up with everyone having 5 orders when real data is all long tail

- I appreciate this product existing, but the row limits in each tier seem very constrained.
- SQL Server support would certainly help you sell enterprise plans.

- This is a great idea. I've thought about doing something similar! On the other hand, I'm not sure it's a business. Is this using AI?
The pricing seems extremely high for what's basically a call to https://github.com/faker-ruby/faker but that makes sense if it has to pay for OpenAI tokens.
(who knows though, plenty of B2B deals signed for sillier things than this - good luck, OP)
