I'm often a little bewildered at why we so consistently label "cheaper/easier" as less significant than "new". "Cheaper/easier" is what creates consequences, not "new".

It's something we are considering. What use cases do you have in mind?
Mostly personal/art projects for now, but willing to pay.

Are you going to offer a web embeddable version of the Live offering?
There's more to this story than just telling the bees, but this is regional as well.
I grew up on a family cattle farm. We had a tradition of telling the breeder bull about all the family goings on, so he could be comfortable knowing we had it all under control.
It was partially superstition and partially just so the bulls we used never got aggressive with family. You'd take him a bucket of corn or sweet feed and then tell him the bullshit that was going on.
Had a hard time parsing this, assumed "breeder" was the role of a human ranch hand, and you were telling them about family trivialities ("bull") so they felt included and soothed. Theory really fell apart around the time you started giving them corn and "sweet feed".
Recommended input for anyone trying this out:
Voice: Onyx
Vibe: Heavy german accent, doing an Arnold Schwarzenegger impression, way over the top for comedic effect. Deep booming voice, uses pauses for dramatic effect.
interesting to see what accents do and do not work
Out of curiosity, what don’t you like about it?
The eternal red flag of a DB UI that tries to support wildly different backends explains a lot of the problems. Many sane and powerful Postgres features can't be used because Directus also needs to support SQLite, for example. Views not properly supported, search features inadequate, graphql DSL with arbitrary limitations, a lot of weird or dysfunctional relational patterns when something much simpler would do... it's a parallel, inferior system on top of stock pg that is very frustrating when used at some depth.

One obvious area of improvement will be allowing you to tweak specific sections of an AI generated song. I was recently playing around with Suno, and while the results with their latest models are really impressive, sometimes you just want a little bit more control over specific sections of a track. To give a concrete example: I used deepseek-r1 to generate lyrics for a song about assabiyyah, and then used to Suno to generate the track [0]. The result was mostly fine, but it pronounced assabiyyah as ah-sa-BI-yah instead of ah-sah-BEE-yah. A relatively minor nitpick.

Suno has select region editing now
The weird thing is that labeling tobacco as addictive did actually seem to produce a decline in use. Labeling social media apps as addictive has, from what I’ve seen, given a lot of people an excuse to keep using it. The narrative has shifted toward “It’s not my fault I use it so much, it’s the company’s fault for making it addictive!”.
Something about moving the locus of control to a 3rd party opens the door for people to forgive themselves for using it so much.
Obligatory “not everyone”, of course, but I can’t believe how many conversations about social media use will immediately shift all blame to the company and downplay any individual choices.
I think part of this is the genuine benefit of social media, it's used for education, connection, political organization... not quite the same as a cigarette. You can pick any emotional or moral response you're having from it and cite some aspect of its multifaceted nature to bolster your position.
