Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission contains critical inconsistencies: the URL belongs to Hashnode (a developer platform), but the description and name 'StarClaw/LinkDine' describe a restaurant app. Additionally, the claim that 'most people have used my product' is demonstrably false, and the team size (750) is grossly exaggerated for either entity. The 'Market Research' technology tag further indicates a lack of technical substance. Due to these contradictions and spam-like indicators, the project receives a near-zero utility score.
