Hi @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!
The key word there is “community”. You’re not part of this community, you just came here to shill your AI slop.

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.
Ooh, I made you mad enough to use your own words instead of telling the chatbot to write your reply! I’ll do it again: Slop.

Actually, I’m still using an LLM to write this, since English isn’t my native language (as I mentioned earlier).
It’s a pity that, unlike an LLM, you clearly didn’t grasp the reference at the end of my last message. You should probably paste it into one of them—they’ll gladly explain it to you.
