Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Text Blaze is a highly successful productivity tool with verifiable traction (600k+ active users on Chrome Web Store) and significant funding ($3M+). While the project itself has exceptional real-world utility and market fit, the specific submission provided was low-effort (outdated user counts, lazy input fields). The score reflects the high value of the established product, adjusted downward slightly for the poor quality of the submission data.

We are used by some of the largest companies in the world (Stripe, Hubspot, Square, Amazon, Tesla, TikTok, and many more), and we're growing fast.\n\nUsers save programmable text snippets and insert them anywhere on the web using keyboard shortcuts.
