It’s very much on-topic. You’re just shilling your own product under the thread of a similar product, nothing to be ashamed off chief. Shill away.

It's completely true, and I AM ashamed for doing it. But it's a terrible time to be a PaaS founder, since there are very few new projects being started at the moment. Without exaggeration, I think there are somewhere between 10% and 20% of new projects being started (which is the only point people will actually choose to use our platform) compared to 2022. Hard times, lower standards. Sorry. We've got ~40 website visitors from that comment so far, and I can't pass on that.
Well, what did you see that gave you that impression? About less new projects being started. This got me super curious.
3 things:
- Situation on the SWE hiring market. It's way harder to find a job.
- I personally know people from SW dev agencies that are all saying its very hard to find an opportunity (project) to work on.
- In fact, I'm 99% convinced that we're in a recession, even though its not official. Companies are cutting costs left and right. And think about it this way. When a company invests in a software, it's an investment for them, which will eventually pay for itself in a few years. But if the company is struggling to just stay alive, investments are the first thing they cut.
