Your candid feedback has been crucial in shaping the project and it would be great if you can share some features you’d like to see in the project going forward.&lt;p&gt;What is Appwrite ? 
In simplest terms, Appwrite is an open source Backend As A Service (aka BaaS). Appwrite is an all in one solution with all the essentials you need like Authentication, User Management, Realtime Databases, Webhooks, Storage, Cloud Functions, SDKs for your favourite language and it’s light weight. Appwrite even runs on a Raspberry Pi. Most importantly, Appwrite is self-hosted which means you own your data and prevent any vendor lock-ins.&lt;p&gt;Talking about Appwrite’s features

I remember kicking the tires on the service a year ago and liked it but didn&amp;#x27;t have a big need for it.  It looks like a lot of great stuff has been added in the time since then.</text></comment>
