Catan offline map generators: would the community find analytics useful?

Hi everyone,
I’m curious whether people here use external Catan map generators for offline / physical games.
I built a small tool for this purpose, mainly to generate boards and also analyze them a bit (balance, numbers, resource distribution, etc.).

My goal is not to replace BGA play, only to support in-person Catan sessions.

I’d genuinely like feedback from experienced Catan players:

do you use map generators for offline games?
is analytics actually useful, or do you prefer fully random boards?
what would make such a tool more valuable?

The tool is here: https://catan.soft2u.ro

Thanks — I’d appreciate honest feedback.
