Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

ObjectBox is a high-utility, deep-tech project with significant verified traction in the Android/IoT ecosystem (GreenRobot legacy, client list including BMW/Siemens). While the submission text itself was casual ('everyone', 'most people'), the underlying technology is an industry standard for offline-first mobile data. The project scores highly on technical innovation and real-world utility, positioning it above standard content platforms but below verified unicorns due to the lean team size (2-7) and lack of precise revenue data.

Description
ObjectBox helps app developers develop faster apps faster by ensuring data is where it is needed when it is needed. The core is our high-performance, lightweight, embedded database written in C / C++ with easy native-language APIs for Java, Kotlin, Swift, Dart (Flutter), Go, and C / C++. On top of the database, we’re building an out-of-the-box Data Sync (think of it as a git for data; currently in Early Access; so far demonstrating great efficiency).\n\nOver 500,000 developers use ObjectBox and we work with clients like Siemens and BMW.\n\nWe are also the team behind the open-source projects greenDAO (https://github.com/greenrobot/greenDAO) and EventBus (https://github.com/greenrobot/eventbus), which are used by 30% of the top-500 apps on Google Play. To give some examples: Pinterest, Booking, Snapchat are all using our libraries in their apps.
