You didn’t fail because the project was bad.
You failed because you posted it to the wrong audience.

Normies don’t reward:

effort
architecture
actual code literacy

It rewards:

spam
flashy colors
animated listings

If your app is so great then why don't you sell it?

I like how we're just trusting that the dude did good math. The code/math has zero coments and wack ass names. I don't trust it for shit. Do better anon.
