You as well as your business partner are so creative at hijacking threads that it is almost cringeworthy :(

Typesense itself might be a great product but but please stop devaluating it in trying to hijack every search related post.

As an introvert and an engineer it’s definitely not the easiest for me to talk about something I’m working on openly. So I do cringe every time I mention Typesense in contexts like this thread.

But it seems like every time I mention it, new people discover it and there continues to be interest in the community for an oss search product. I’m sorry if you saw me mention Typesense too often.

IMO your post was fine and informative, I certainly appreciated it. As someone developing something similar, you would have thought about the problem a lot more than the casual reader and be able to provide insight others might not. I can relate to that.

However, it wasn't clear to me that you were involved with Typesense. Re-reading it now I spot one reference at the very end. If it was instead tied in with your first reference it would come across more honest and make your observations more appreciated.
