#22Pretty scummy behavior for all of these people to comment without disclosing their affiliation with the company.
Thanks for keeping an eye on them - I've been interested in appwrite, but this botting behaviour is really turning me off from them

Coolify is also a great product. Appwrite specifically would compare better with Firebase or Supabase, Appwrite Sites, our new addition to the stack is directly positioned as a Vercel/Netlify alternative

#24I for one have been tracking Appwrite since it launched and am not affiliated with the company. This is a tough segment to build a business in. It's crowded, and these kinds of opinionated abstractions are limiting once you want flexibility or scale. Still this is clearly a time in which people are looking for good open source options at this layer... Someone has to keep Supabase honest...
Thanks for the kind words, this indeed is an exciting space to be in.

Do you work at appwrite? https://github.com/ebenezerdon
Yes and open about it. You can check my other HN posts, including the last one about Appwrite Sites, where I mentioned I'm a team member: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44027691
I also build with Appwrite, so I experience it as a user. You might have noticed some of my products on GitHub, including https://nextjob.work

#26This is the most overly positive and least critical HN submission I've ever seen

No, that's not being "open about it".
You can't post a comment like "I really like the direction X is going with this" and fail to mention you're an employee IN THAT SAME COMMENT without violating HN guidelines.

#28@dang and HN mods - please help cull the bot / employee / astroturf comments dominating the comments here. Thanks!
PS Appwrite devs - the comment spam footgun makes me sad, bc the stuff you're building actually looks worthwhile. IMHO Vercel jumped the shark not long after the "Zeit" name change, and alternative OSS infr / tooling like this deserves support.

Your previous comment was the absolute opposite of being open, honestly you saying this now makes me not want to go anywhere near this product fwiw.

Sorry it came off that way. Not my intention, and to be more direct, I'm not hiding it and do not wish to. Sorry again about that.
Appwrite is fully open-source, which is a big reason I stand behind it.
My role is to represent the developer community and surface their needs, not build the internals. So when I say I like where Appwrite is going, it's coming from that perspective.

And just to circle back: Appwrite is fully open-source. I use it in my own products and experience it as a user: https://github.com/ebenezerdon
