Gaining Momentum

POiN (poinplaces.com) is a verifiable platform for families in Spain, backed by Google for Startups and SeedRocket. External search confirms a community of ~60,000 families and legitimate awards (El Referente, UNICEFLab), contradicting the submission's exaggerated claim that 'most people have used my product'. While the project demonstrates genuine utility and a solid 'small but promising' trajectory (100-250 range), the submission quality outside the description was extremely poor.
