+315
Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

StackShare is a well-established software discovery platform with verified utility and significant traction in the developer community (comparable to HackerNoon). However, the submission itself was of extremely low quality, utilizing vague hyperboles ('everyone', 'most people') and lacking concrete data. While the project's real-world value is high (Series A funded, millions of visitors), the 'Proof of Usefulness' score is heavily penalized by the poor Quality Factors (Qi) assigned due to the lack of evidence provided in the input. The score reflects a solid product presented poorly.
