House Connect is an early-stage prototype for a local services platform built by an 18-year-old developer. While it targets a genuine real-world problem inspired by personal experience, the project currently has no active users, lacks technical depth, and shows zero evidence of market traction. The submission is honest but falls firmly into the minimal traction category.
