@smooke Huge fan of what you're building with Proof of Usefulness — rewarding real utility over vibe-coded hype is exactly the right bar. So I made you a launch video for the hackathon (below): drop it straight onto your Product Hunt launch page, embed it on the site, or share it anywhere — it's yours, 100% whitelabel, no strings.
I made it with FoxPlug (https://foxplug.com) — it turns a site or a shipped project into launch videos, images, and posts in about 30 seconds. And I put it to the test on your own terms: I entered FoxPlug into the hackathon, and it scored +37 on the Proof of Usefulness report. Rooting for this initiative.
@smooke Congrats on the launch!
Frankly speaking, most hackathons are a timepass. This one is rewarding real work. I have two years of real users and finally somebody is scoring that. Submitted yesterday itself.
Omg, $150k and they are judging actual users? My app go show them something. Submission done this morning, no long story.
