I am. I thought this is obvious. My statement is objective. I would go as far as: it is the only app works at 8GiB macOS devices with SDXL-family models.

"You should check out this thing" has a very different implied context than "You should check out this thing I made". The first sounds like a recommendation from an enthusiastic user, not from the the author. Because of this, discovering that you are the author makes your recommendation feel deceptive.

I am sorry if you feel that way. I joined HN when it was a small tight-knit community without much of marketing presence. The "obvious" comment is more like "people know other people" kind of thing. I didn't try to deceive anyone to use the app (and why should I?).

If you feel this is unannounced self-promotion, yes, it is, and can be done better.

Also, for the "objective" comment, it meant to say "the original comment is still objective", not that you can be objective only by being a developer. Being a developer can obviously bias your opinion.

I think it was obvious. That said, thank you so much for your labor of love! The app is amazing! Any plans for SDXL Turbo support?

Should be in a few days. I asked Stability to clarify whether I can deliver weights through my Cloudflare bucket and whether qualifying as non-commercial is who runs the model, not who delivers the model.

2008, when we both joined, was 15 years ago. In the interim, the userbase has grown. Most people aren't recognizable as the author of an app under discussion, so a simple "Developer here" is appreciated as it was not obvious to me.

What do you mean it was obvious? Only the developer could make that objective statement?

How would that be obvious to anyone?

Whoa, well let me just say thanks for the awesome app!! it's pretty entertaining to spin this up in situations where I don't have internet (Airplane, subway etc.)

I was also surprised on how well it ran on my iPhone 11 before I replaced it with a 15 pro.

(Let me know if you're looking for some Product Design help/advice, totally happy to contribute pro bono. No worries if not of course!)

Nice app - but for future reference it is very much not obvious to any native English speaker. "You should check out X" sounds like a random recommendation.
