Does anyone else proudly display the what they self host on their laptop? The hardest part is removing old stickers when you port from one project to another (Trilium and Obsidian for example). People ask me all the time what’s this or that sticker. I’m impressed when they can pick one out on their own.

      It reeks of “manufactured organic content” if that makes sense. This may not have been OPs intention, but it kinda checks those marks:

      • post content, praise it, don’t mention you make and sell it
      • another user finds out you make and sell it, posts store link
      • post disguised as advert, manufactured organic conversation around the product creates an effective advertisment

      It leaves a bad taste in my mouth because this is what modern advertising is and I prefer to have full transparency. A disclosure in the post would have been nice. Again, I’m not saying this was OP’s intention, it just hits the same points.
