Creator of Appsmith here.

First of all, thank you for trying the product and sharing your feedback. I appreciate it.

While you can modify the source code to remove the watermark, you can also upgrade to the paid edition which helps keep the project sustainable. :) Additionally, you don't have to put in additional effort in keeping the fork up to date with our main repo.

I understand that our choice of single Docker container for hosting Appsmith may be counter-intuitive. We took that route because we were seeing lots of developers struggle with k8s (especially with multiple pods). That's why we actually simplified the experience to optimize for quick starts.

I look forward to your feedback and support for a growing open source project :)

I recently wasted a lot of time talking to salesmen who thought my (non profit research) company had bags of money to give away, and I decided to stop requesting quotes for SaaS because of that. I know that everyone needs to eat though, but it doesn’t soften the managers.

I wish you the best, you have a great product already.
