You're In Business

The project 'Mendo' appears to be inactive or non-existent, as the domain mendo.cloud does not resolve and there is no search footprint despite a claimed 2021 launch. The submission contains hyperbolic and demonstrably false claims regarding traction (e.g., 'most people have used my product'), lacks verified metrics, and provides no technical detail. It falls into the category of projects with no verifiable traction and significant red flags.
