Great job building this! I can tell it took a lot of time and work. How long, from idea conception to this Show HN, did it take you?

And how did you determine whether there would be a market for this? Was it more something you built for yourself, or did you have some feeling there would be an audience for this on HN (or elsewhere)?

Thanks! I had a working version a few years ago, but started a complete rewrite 6-ish months ago, mostly working on weekends.

It was 100% for ourselves at the start, but figured others would love it too, so second time I built it to scale. HN is not especially our target audience, but wanted to show it off, stress-test and get at least some outside feedback. :)
