14 days agoHi @curbstickle_lw, thank you for stepping in and for taking the time to actually look at the project instead of just auto-deleting it based on reports!
I did read the meta thread, and I completely understand the community’s frustration with closed-source, paid advertisements.
To be completely transparent about the two points you raised:
- Yes, I just registered. I’ve been working solo on this project for the past year and was looking for a community that appreciates self-hosted alternatives to corporate SaaS platforms. Since the project is fully open-source (AGPL), completely free, and built specifically for self-hosting, I genuinely believed it aligned with the rules and the core ethos of Lemmy.
- Federation Hub (share-by-default): The reason it connects by default is that it powers the core community features (like importing visual strategy templates from other users), rather than acting as stealth telemetry. But I want to emphasize that it is strictly privacy-by-design (no hostnames or IPs are ever stored), and anyone who wants a completely isolated, air-gapped instance can instantly disable it by setting IS_CENTRAL_HUB=true in their .env file.
I really appreciate you giving the project a fair look and making a distinction between actual open-source projects and corporate spam. I’ll gladly stick around to answer any technical questions!
Calling an enterprise-grade platform featuring a 40+ node visual graph editor, dual backtesting engines, and full multi-tenant isolation “AI slop” just because an LLM accelerated the syntax development is pure ideological gatekeeping. This “slop” objectively outperforms every proprietary $100/mo trading SaaS and basic CLI script in existence right now. If you have an actual architectural critique regarding the FastAPI/Celery setup, the PgBouncer integration, or the Redis ACL security model, I’m all ears. Otherwise, you’re just yelling at a cloud.
Evolve. Or Don’t Look Up.
