Appwrite Sites

In plain words

Appwrite Sites is an open-source platform that lets developers deploy static and server-rendered applications with simplified workflows. It handles site creation, domain connection, and provides templates to streamline the process. Designed as an alternative to Vercel, it targets software engineers and developers who need straightforward deployment tools without vendor lock-in, offering an open-source approach to application hosting.

From the sources

With Sites, Appwrite offers a streamlined solution for easily deploying static and server-rendered applications. Everything is designed to simplify your workflow, from creating a site and connecting a domain to leveraging our templates.

Appwrite 2.0 brings a new engine, a rebuilt Console, five database types, an S3 API, an OAuth 2.1 server, and organization-level Domains and Firewall. Every backend platform eventually asks its users to make a trade. You adopt the platform's abstractions and get speed, or you keep your own tools and build the plumbing yourself. For most of Appwrite's history, we were on one side of that trade: our APIs, our SDKs, our data model, our way. Appwrite 2.0 is the second major generation of the platform. It replaces the engine underneath, rebuilds the Console on top, and expands what a project can hold: relational and schemaless and vector data, native PostgreSQL and MySQL engines, S3-addressable…from appwrite.io

  Talanoa▲340

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  Tapflow 2.0▲1,125

  We built Tapflow for devs, designers, PMs, and tech folks who’ve been sitting on internal docs, templates, and systems — but never productized them. Upload a PDF, notes, or workshop deck, and Tapflow drafts a structured product (with chapters, teaser and pricing plans). It’s good for AI kits, onboarding guides, design systems, and frameworks. You can sell through Stripe, LemonSqueezy, or PayPal. Real-time collaboration is in early beta. No site builder, no LMS — clean design and just focused tools to ship. Fully bootstrapped and just launched on PH today →…

  Zero▲845

  Hi HN, I’m Nizar, and I’m building Zero (https://0.email) — an AI-powered email client that manages your inbox for you. Email hasn’t changed in decades, even though the way we work has. The average knowledge worker now spends close to 30% of their week on email, constantly reacting, replying, and sorting through noise. It’s become one of the biggest productivity sinks in modern work. At the same time, AI has transformed how we write, plan, and collaborate — yet our inboxes are still stuck in the past. I built Zero to fix that. Zero automatically prioritizes, organizes, and even…
