Awesome! Having recently bought half of a 100 year old duplex building in new england, I've frequently wanted something like this - why is there minor fire damage in one corner of the basement? What year was this porch updated into a full room? Is this window an original? Is there a reason the previous owner bought an electric dryer when there's gas hookups?

As a potential user, my biggest concern would be the longevity of the platform. Investing in using this platform might pay off for me after 5 to 10 years, much longer than the average startup or side project lasts.

Thank you for the feedback! Obviously if I could get this to a place where enough people find it valuable, I would like to make it work for as long as possible... But in the meantime, I'm definitely planning to prioritize full data export functionality (and other ways of making sure you're not locked-in or empty handed after investing in it.)
