On their website [1], they make it look like WhatsApp, Slack, and Instagram are all using their service, when in reality it's their own implementation of "similar" services. Seems fishy. [1] https://www.cloudboost.io/ https://www.cloudboost.io/

While true, I think you're nit-picking. They've clearly put a ton of effort into the project (code, docs, website), why is there something fishy or malicious?

  I agree with this. It clearly says "Checkout the world's most popular apps rebuilt on CloudBoost". It would rather be a disservice to users if they obscured these projects by getting rid of those icons.

    It said "Checkout the world's most popular apps built on CloudBoost" before. We just fixed it.

      I like your integrity man. Even after you fixed it you own the error when other people question the original comment. Good on you. Ownership, transparency and integrity are key to a service of this magnitude. FYI. I do more front-end work and I'm starting to contribute more to open source. Is your website on a repo? If so, may I contribute some PRs to it that'll improve your website? I'll make really small ones so it's easier to absorb. Let me know if that is doable. Ps. I'll be checking your product out btw since I like your attitude on HN and I bet on people not products.

Yeah. They should probably just change the heading to something like 'See your favourite apps remade with Cloudboost'
