Hi Hacker News

I’m Pierre-Gilles Leymarie, and I created 7 years ago Gladys Assistant, an open-source home automation software.

At the time, it was just a pet project: something to help me automate my student room.

Today, we have been downloaded more than 40k times and we are launching a new website based on Docusauraus v2.

I would love to have your feedback on this new website!

Looks nice, and I can understand putting some features behind a subscription when it requires some servers and remote services to maintain, but putting End-to-End Encrypted Remote Access as a paid feature goes against the "privacy-first" concept.

Why? If you use Gladys locally (on your local network), or has the knowledge to self host everything, then it’s 100% free (because it’s open-source), and your privacy is respected

You pay for things which cost me money !
