For anyone who likes the idea but doesn't use Django, check out https://restyled.io/ - it supports a bunch of tools [1].
It's also open source and self-hostable for folks who like the idea but don't trust that automation to a third party.

Which is a pretty standard arrangement for SaaS dev tools that I think makes it pretty clear your data isn't the business model. What I like about that model it is a reasonable balance of customers actually paying for the thing they use (so the business owner isn't beholden to advertising or tempted to abuse data access), and supporting the open source community (without which most of the modern web couldn't exist). I won't say it's entirely without risk - you need enough paid use to cover the costs of the open source use. But I think it's an ethical and sustainable approach if you can achieve that.
And, again, restyled is open source - if you don't trust the owner, you can run it yourself.
btw, we dont actually have any of the user's data. We literally do not have a user database. All we have is a link to a public repo. It currently works only on public repos. So no danger of Django Doctor doing anything odd with your code because the code is already public. No risk of Django Doctor doing anything strange with your personal data because we don't have any :)
When I worked on solo projects, sanity checks like these would be very helpful since you don’t have a teammate to help spot “brain fart” situations.
edit: Or even a paid alternative as those at least seem to have a business model.
