IOctopus is a functioning cloud-based mind-mapping tool with a unique 'organic' branch rendering style, verified by external reviews and active online presence since 2020. However, the project submission is of very low quality, containing verifiable false claims regarding traction ('most people have used my product') and reach ('everyone'). While the software demonstrates real-world utility for a niche audience, the hyperbolic claims and lack of verifiable growth metrics significantly degrade the score, placing it in the 'Small but promising' category purely due to the existence of a working product.
