Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Dynaboard was a high-utility low-code platform acquired by Figma in early 2024, validating its technology and market relevance. However, the project submission itself contains low-quality, inaccurate data (e.g., claiming 'everyone' as the audience and 'most people' have used it), and the standalone service has been shut down post-acquisition. The score reflects the high verifiable merit of the project (acquisition exit, backing by Sequoia) heavily penalized by the poor quality of the submission and the fact that the tool is no longer publicly accessible.
