I wonder if the website did the thing where it lists their big customers like a trophy cabinet on the main landing page.

It would probably make a good list of places to sell snake oil

Also love that this is all evidence to back up the premise that building the happy path of an application is generally easy, one of the main skills in software engineering is ensuring the unhappy paths are covered sufficiently. I can say I've started a bank and keep people's money in my wardrobe, I'll be providing the service of holding their money—I'll also probably get robbed sharpish because I'm not skilled in the kind of security needed to avoid that.

Any “customers” landed are going to be friends and family, if not just outright fakes invented by leo.
