Is it weird? Alternatives are mentioned in HN threads all the time. I mean you can make the comparison yourself.

  It's one thing to mention alternatives but "join the discord" is straight up promotion.

    That’s a weird line to draw.

      Alright, well if you ever release ngrid I'm sure you won't mind if I post about alternatives right? Maybe include some links to some competitors, and an invitation to their discords. Also I'll be sure to not mention your project at all in my post. Hope that's ok.

        I’ll release it soon. I can tell you can’t wait for it. Also the scenario you describe is a different thing since one is commercial and one is open source. But I wouldn’t be particularly upset about you mentioning your product. Also I’m not going to mention alternatives but I wouldn’t be butthurt if they post it themselves. Is that a hard concept?
