The submission for Blinkly contains severe credibility issues. The claim that 'most people have used my product' is demonstrably false for a two-person team with no discernible digital footprint or revenue. While the concept of quantum-resistant email is relevant, the lack of verifiable technical details and the misuse of 'quantum-computing' as a technology stack (rather than Post-Quantum Cryptography algorithms) suggests a lack of technical maturity or vaporware. Search results yield no evidence of the product's existence or user base, placing this in the lowest tier of evaluation.

Description
Blinkly is a technology company focused on privatizing the basic utilities of the internet. Our flagship product is a quantum-resistant, end-to-end encrypted, email service that allows users to communicate securely in vulnerable environments without the risk of Microsoft or Google reading your email, creating psychometric profiles, and selling your data to third parties. Blinkly is a stand-alone web application that communicates with all other email systems enabling users to have full control of their email with innovative features such as: quantum-resistant encryption of all data including attachments, secure reply-all, custom password protection, expiration timer, and the option to expunge sent emails preventing the recipient from viewing the email. Moreover, Blinkly email never lives on third-party servers regardless of the recipient’s email service provider.
