The submission describes 'UpMyStreet.com', a legacy UK local information service acquired by Zoopla in 2012. The project no longer exists as an independent entity (the URL redirects to Zoopla). The submission data contains significant red flags, including incoherent revenue figures ('marketcap: 50000') and hyperbolic, unverifiable traction claims ('most people have used my product'). As an inactive, legacy project with a low-quality submission, it demonstrates zero current utility or innovation.
