The submission is highly inconsistent and appears to be erroneous or fraudulent. The Project Name 'WhisperHunter' (a video game item) contradicts the Description (a UI design tool named 'Atomic'). The provided URL 'atomic.com' belongs to a major ski manufacturer, not the project described. While the description links to Irvin Zhan (Founder of Subframe, formerly likely codenamed Atomic), the submission contains false traction claims ('most people have used my product'), incorrect categorization (Fintech & Crypto), and lacks any verifiable metrics. The underlying project 'Subframe' is legitimate, but the submitted entry is fundamentally flawed.

Description
What if you had the chance to put yourself out of business?\n\nImagine you could work on the next once-in-a-decade innovation that redefines an entire creative industry. What if you could design the early version of Adobe Photoshop or the first filters of Instagram? Think how you’d feel being part of a movement to make a creative endeavor accessible to anyone.\n\nThat’s what we’re up to at Atomic, but with a much more ambitious mission than tweaking photos.\n\nWe’re building a UI design tool for non-designers who want to design like you – a world-class designer. Our design tool will codify best practices into product guardrails and common UI patterns into templates. If we are successful, Atomic will unlock the next generation of designers.\n\nSound interesting?
