   Appwrite is awesome, free and open-source!

   I've use it instead of Firebase on a 15$ DigitalOcean droplet and saved around ~$150 a month. Managing my own infra does take some extra time, but definitely worth it. The APIs and SDK are also surprisingly much easier to consume than Firebase. Waiting for the cloud version.

   🏁 Competitors: Firebase

   👍 Pros:    Easy to use|Cost effective|Open-source|Great user experience|Super simple|Self hosted

   👎 Cons:    Self hosted

• Ask HN: What two software products should have a kid?

  Browsing HN, GitHub and the like we get to see a huge variety of software products and code bases. I often see products and think - if this product X, got together with Y, it would be pretty cool - kind of like if they had a kid together. Not too literally, but more on the conceptual level - my level of programming is low. E.g. Just some.... - pocketable.io & datasette (+with some more charting)... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago
