Rowy (submitted as SwiftWing) is a legitimate, high-utility open-source project (YC S21) that transforms Firestore into a spreadsheet-like UI. While the project itself has significant traction (~6.8k GitHub stars, $3M+ funding) and solves a genuine developer pain point, the submission quality is extremely poor. Claims like 'most people have used my product' and 'everyone' are hyperbolic and false, necessitating heavy penalties in Reach, Traction, and Response Quality metrics. The score reflects the strong underlying technology and verifiable market presence, adjusted downward for the lack of professional detail and accuracy in the submission.
