> Semi-OT rant: can we stop these "for humans" qualifiers?
It wasn't really intentional, and I actually didn't even know where or when this originated. It just sounded "right" (non native English speaker here). There are several two reasons why this felt right:
* Tuning Postgres well is hard. Not everybody, not every "human" can easily do it.
* There are several efforts (mostly from Academia) to have non humans (A.I.) tune databases automatically (e.g. Andy Pavlo's efforts).
> why link to a blog post rather than the actual site?
Because the blog post contains an explanation of what the web site is, how you can use it and provide much more context than the direct parameters page.
About the new functionality, it is something in the works and early disclosure is good for potential feedback. And yes, the screenshot is what you can get today, so feel free to enjoy it!
