Run by a human

MySQL Visual EXPLAIN is run by a single human - not a faceless corporation. This is a bootstrapped project without any external funding, no investors to make happy, and therefore, no one who can force closing it by refusing another investment to keep the lights running. This project is built to last forever!

It was not easy building this tool, but it's been incredibly rewarding: For the past 15 years, distilling helpful information from MySQL's EXPLAIN output has always been hard work for me. That's no longer the problem. Mission accomplished. You're not just using a tool. You're engaging with my passion and vision for a database optimization tool that's simple, clear, and easy to use.

I am committed to further developing the tool and making it more intuitive step by step. Using it should be an enjoyable experience for you and me. Every question or feedback you send is read and responded to by me personally - not an AI, not a support team, but me.
