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

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.

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.

You can check my HN post about Appwrite Sites here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44027691

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
