The description is misleading. Once you check the docs it becomes clear that it's not a drop-in algolia replacement.(i.e API comp)

Thank you for pointing this out. Yes, we're working on making our API's comparable with Algolia. We've implemented basic search now and are working on advanced search API's.

Compatibility with Algolia would be a great stand alone product in itself.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I agree with this. It clearly says "Checkout the world's most popular apps rebuilt on CloudBoost". It would rather be a disservice to users if they obscured these projects by getting rid of those icons.

It said "Checkout the world's most popular apps built on CloudBoost" before. We just fixed it.

I like your integrity man. Even after you fixed it you own the error when other people question the original comment. Good on you. Ownership, transparency and integrity are key to a service of this magnitude.

FYI. I do more front-end work and I'm starting to contribute more to open source. Is your website on a repo? If so, may I contribute some PRs to it that'll improve your website? I'll make really small ones so it's easier to absorb. Let me know if that is doable.

Ps. I'll be checking your product out btw since I like your attitude on HN and I bet on people not products.

'We use AI to build exceptional apps for you.' Can you elaborate on how you use AI to build my apps ? I have a hard time imagining this.

"Today, apps need many data stores - from database to search index, to cache and more. Our AI algorithm learns about your app and auto configures these for you so we don't have to which saves 50% or more of your time."
