[my app assessment]

- PRB ans ? projects together, outside of work -  wall of text,

- PRB ans ? growth -

[working against me]

- single founder, no track record
- i am/am i - too old
- we use 'boring' technology 
- product is too broad (not focused)
- product - too long in development
- application issues  (cc my app assessment - wall of text for ?#interesting project-2+created-outsideOfwork , demo url , )

[i believe - the bar is high]
