At the same time the <a href="https://opensearch.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://opensearch.org</a> does not seem to be an ampty threat.</p><h2 class="anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_LWe7" id="typesenseorg">typesense.org<a href="#typesenseorg" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to typesense.org" title="Direct link to typesense.org"></a></h2><p>I do not know, who was hiding under a rock, but I had not seen <a href="https://typesense.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://typesense.org</a> before and they certainly have a bold claim: <strong><em>"The Open Source Algolia Alternative" / "The Easier To Use ElasticSearch Alternative"</em></strong> </p><p>When looking at <a href="https://github.com/typesense/typesense/graphs/contributors" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/typesense/typesense/graphs/contributors</a> it seems, that Kishore Nallan has been working on this for a while.
