The project 'Backlight' (backlight.dev) is a developer tool for design systems that is officially scheduled to shut down in June 2025. The submission conflates this failing product with a separate, larger media technology company ('Backlight' at backlight.co), using the larger company's team size (255-500) to misrepresent the developer tool's scale. Additionally, the claims of reach ('everyone', 'most people have used my product') are demonstrably false. While the underlying technology had merit, the project is currently sunsetting and the submission data is deceptive.
