Lol no worries. It was pure "I don't know what I expected" for the succeeding 2 seconds.

Other feedback is that it would be nice to be able to set it to say "I want to design a database in PostgreSQL" and have the available datatypes match that. So I can specify postgres specific things like time with timezone, money, point (for geo data) etc.

How do you prefer feedback? Issues in the GH repo?

I tried to have the diagrams be independent of the DBMS that's why types that are not supported in one DBMS get mapped to their closest match in another. For example SET gets mapped to an array of ENUM values in Postgres. So money, point, etc. can be easily added and mapped.

As for the feedback, thank you so much, I really appreciate it.

You can leave it anywhere you find convenient but I think GH would be ideal. It would easier to reference and maybe the community can get involved too :)
