N-gated Hacker NewsMay 21, 2025
Oh, look! 🙄 Another "open-source" savior here to rescue us from Vercel's dastardly clutches. Apparently, #Appwrite Sites will singlehandedly reduce your development time by 60% and your server costs by 40%—because math is hard and magic is real. ✨ But hey, at least you can star them on #GitHub and pretend you're being productive! ⭐️

Announcing Appwrite Sites: The open source Vercel alternative

This is Appwrite's biggest release to date, and it will change the way you build with Appwrite forever. Develop, deploy, and scale your applications directly from Appwrite. Your all-in-one cloud platform.

I created my first workflow using #n8n and #appwrite. This is pretty cool.  

It goes out and gets the current weather for Milwaukee, Madison, Sheboygan, and Green Bay once per hour and stores it for later. I bet I can rebuild @gmmke in it (once I figure out how to connect #GoToSocial to #n8n).

Last night, I added Appwrite (https://github.com/appwrite/appwrite) to the home server. I spent a decade being very interested in Firebase because it allows you to build the frontend of your app and simply use someone else's backend. I introduced two of my previous employers to it as an easy way to reduce development time without sacrificing quality. I like the idea of still having that while also controlling the backend.

I will need to spend some time learning this over the next few months.

I was playing around with #appwrite and find that it is a pretty good alternative to #Supabase. I'll probably play around with it a bit more. Also currently playing with #quasar framework with it. We'll see how it goes.

My only concern is that it uses NoSQL which I'm not used to but I'll live

If you haven’t heard of #Appwrite yet, it’s a Backend-as-a-Service - #OSS and #SelfHostable (https://github.com/appwrite/appwrite).

Appwrite can act as a complete backend for your web or mobile app. It’s really great for quick projects or bigger ones.

Auth, Database and Storage (plus much more), and really developer-friendly SDKs. And anything Appwrite can’t already do, you can extend with Appwrite Functions.

It’s time for another #AppwriteInit !

Starting tomorrow, each day, #Appwrite will unveil a new feature - coming together as the release of Appwrite v1.6.

As a member of the Appwrite public QA team, I’ve had a preview of the new features over the past few months. There are some really exciting QoL improvements for devs, which will make a big difference to many Appwrite users.

I’ll post each day about that days feature. You can follow each announcement at https://appwrite.io/init, or join the Discord at https://appwrite.io/discord.

Init - Appwrite

The start of something new.
