Launch HN: Castled Data (YC W22) – Open-Source Reverse ETL

We can definitely consider that. But I feel its a lot of config and can be error prone. For instance, source-destination field mapping configs might be complex and have various issues like data type mismatches, typos in field names etc and a user interface is better suited to guide you through the entire process.

But I see value in exporting the config to a github repo after the pipeline is created and thereafter future edits can be done via the github repo. Does that make sense?

Yes 100% -- you could also imagine just syncing from the UI to a repo, rather than trying to make the config human-editable. Toggle into a branch in the UI, make edits, and have those committed to the repo by the tool.

Looks awesome, I am rooting for you guys!
