This looks really cool! A few thoughts:
1. The first thing I thought when I saw this is "How is this secure?". You're wanting to store the most sensitive information a business has - credentials + production DB. I took a look around the site + Google and couldn't find anything about security. Client side encryption of data seems like it would be good to make people comfortable with storing their data at dothub. I'm not sure if there is any use case for dothub having unencrypted data (at least not yet)?
2. "Application states" is quite a vague term, when I saw that I thought it was referring to capturing the state of a running process. "A git-like CLI for application states" is not a very compelling pitch. As others have noted, for all but the most masochistic of users, "a git-like CLI" is a negative point.
The benefit you're offering is "Snapshot production data to be able to replay in development" and "Snapshot failed CI builds to debug later". I'd recommend putting those up-front and in bold. A more compelling tagline (to me) is "Dotmesh - version control and snapshots for your production data".
- lewq 9y agoThank you for the great feedback! 1. We mention encryption in the docs FAQ https://docs.dotmesh.com/faq/#what-do-you-encrypt https://docs.dotmesh.com/faq/#what-do-you-encrypt -- where did you look for it? Maybe we can make it easier to find. Noted about this being a priority. 2. Thanks for proposing the updated tagline! I'll run it past the team ;-) we'll certainly develop more messaging and use cases around production data as we develop the project beyond 0.1 :-)

I searched on https://dotmesh.com https://dotmesh.com for "security" and "encryption", searched Google for "site:dotmesh.com security", and tried going to http://dotmesh.com/security http://dotmesh.com/security, but got nothing for all three.
