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?
You're just doing all that work for some Good Boy Points?

You should be proud of what you've done anon. Don't expect people to care, most of all don't expect them to reward you for your efforts. A good deed is its own reward

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.
