There's some tension between wanting to be taken seriously ("we" makes it sound like there is a team supporting the product) and using the correct pronoun number for a single author. I see the appeal of using the royal "we" everywhere, even when there is only one person behind the project, because at least then the pronouns don't need to be updated once a second team member joins.

#18This is really great! Thanks for sharing.
Here are some comments: * Make a title of your webpage using tag in * I was not sure the "organization" was meant to be a input field. Please make it more obvious.
It's great! The first web app I made printed "hello, world" in HTML :-). One thing I would recommend is releasing some part of your code so that people can give feedback on that as well.
Keep it up!

Yeah, I'd be very curious to hear what people think about this.
Is it better to us "I" or "We" when running a site yourself? And does the answer change depending on the type of site?
