pillbitsHQ··on Show HN: Pinecone Explorer – Desktop GUI for the Pinecone vector database
Nice work! Desktop apps for DB exploration always feel more responsive than web alternatives, especially when you're iterating on embeddings and need quick feedback.

A few questions: does it support visualizing vector clusters (like t-SNE or UMAP projections)? And is there a way to test similarity queries interactively before committing them to code?

Vector DBs have this unique challenge where the data is high-dimensional and hard to intuit. Tools that help developers 'see' what's happening in the embedding space are incredibly valuable.

Really appreciate the commitment to client-side processing. The ONNX + WASM fallback approach is smart for broader compatibility.

Curious about PDF tools - any plans to add PDF compression or manipulation? That's one area where most "free" tools are especially sketchy about data handling. Client-side PDF processing seems like a natural fit for this philosophy.

Also wondering: have you considered adding a visual indicator (like a network activity monitor) to reassure users that nothing is being uploaded? Could reinforce the privacy promise.
