The project 'Networked' (networked.co) is a functional white-label community platform with mobile apps available on iOS and Android. While the software appears professionally developed and offers useful features for creators (monetization, web3 integration), the submission is heavily penalized for a demonstrably false traction claim ('most people have used my product'). Actual verifiable traction is minimal, with fewer than 20 reviews on the App Store despite a claimed 2020 launch. The platform faces stiff competition in the crowded community-building market.
