You're In Business

PlainAdmin is a verifiable open-source Bootstrap 5 admin template with modest traction (~400 GitHub stars), contradicting the submission's exaggerated claim that 'most people' have used it. While the project offers genuine utility as a development tool, the submission quality is critically low, providing false audience data ('everyone') and irrelevant tags ('construction'). The project operates in a saturated market with low technical innovation.
