[!IMPORTANT] 2026-04-18: I've just found a potential partner to work on this project. Therefore, development will resume soon, although some things may need to change to meet each party's new, overlapping visions. Anyway, please feel free to create a new discussion or contact me at [email protected] if you have any inquiries.

[!NOTE] This project is hand-crafted by myself, so please refrain from opening pull requests that rely heavily on AI agents. If that's the case, please feel free to fork this repository and make your own edits. However, I'm very open to some exceptions in AI usage.

Witt Data Studio

Witt Data Studio is a powerful, user-friendly, and integrated data platform.

The word "witt", we believe, is the past form of "wit" which means "understanding, intellect, sense; knowledge, consciousness, conscience". The word "data" is an important addition to further differentiate it from Wit Studio, the Japanese animation studio best known for producing Attack on Titan.

Disclaimer: We know this project sounds ambitious! We're actively exploring the best path forward, balancing community needs with what's technically achievable. Our direction and approaches may evolve as we learn and build.
