"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.
