There's an appearance of conflict of interest, and you are not the only one to make this accusation. But this is a red herring.

It was also brought up on the related Reddit thread. Someone surmised this might be "motivated by the direct competition."

To which rszrama (Ryan Szarma) said "As a co-founder of Platform.sh, I know with absolute certainty this is not the case."

Assuming Ryan knows more than both of us, and he would be in a position to gain from making such a claim -- it's important to note he emphatically said NO.

Just wanted to point out the disadvantage statement came from https://about.gitlab.com/gitlab-com/

At GitLab we are honest about issues, and transparent about what we're working on. HTH!

GitLab.com runs GitLab EE. So - if you compare features of github hosted and gitlab hosted, it's best to compare EE. (For example, GitLab.com hosts private repos, for free, and it's EE.)

wm in wm_web refers to "wordmark" - looks like it's not displaying correctly in your browser! which one?
