You're In Business

The submission appears to be a personal portfolio or consulting resume rather than a standalone technology project. The claims regarding audience reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product') seem to conflate the success of previous employers (Google, Facebook, etc.) with the specific entity 'Nicorubino'. Consequently, the project lacks verifiable independent metrics, technical innovation, or scalable utility in its current form, resulting in a low score consistent with a personal service business with minimal specific traction.
