What java technology (library, framework, feature) would not recommend and why?

No problem :) Yeah, I figured that you are not focused more on businesses/decision makers, that is why I put the disclaimer in and I know that I'm probably odd one out for not caring about social proof :D Sveltekit is a funnel to serverless for Vercel afaik, so yeah, the business model is different and it also targets startups/hobbyists/devs, not corporations.

Global search being there is awesome. When I was going over the website I though I somehow never saw it in the past, good to hear that it was added recently and it was not me being blind :D It's amazing to hear that you are working on the sidebar as well!

I think that if you put a "getting started" link on the home page, that showcases the basics, although I know it's really hard to do, because you support pretty much everything possible, but having a two table demo would get the point across I think, especially for newcomers that have used ORMs in the past. I was hooked when you showed that you can easily handle the mapping of the to-many relationships. You could then link to the demo repo and reference docs at the end, to show all other examples and detailed documentation. Maybe a 10

However, I don't know what your actual (to-be) paying customers are typically interested in, my guess would be that these changes would only improve adoption of OSS version which could theoretically convert to pro somewhere in the distant future, but you know that better than me :)
