Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

APITable is a verified, high-traction open-source project (15.2k+ GitHub stars, 20k+ organizations) functioning as a low-code database alternative to Airtable. Despite the project's significant real-world utility and market presence, the submission itself was of extremely low quality, containing exaggerated claims ('most people have used my product', 'everyone') and lacking specific data. The score reflects the strong underlying project reality, heavily penalized for the poor quality of evidence and detail provided in the submission.
