Global variables everywhere. No tests or test coverage.

Website for product says: More than 50,000 enterprises and startups use Cloudboost. Including: Sony, Bank of America, Adobe, Hersey, and Coca-Cola.

I'm just not sure the authors of this library are being forthright about it's market and capabilities.

This is an example of why tech companies in emerging markets have to battle against prejudice. People have seen just too much of this kind of dishonesty and assume the worst. Thank you CloudBoost for making the world a worse place.

I love the part that consists of ~20-30 nested 3-liner if statements with various depth.

Edit: to make things worse, there's a 500-char long line in the same file, with minimal comments except for todo's.

Well, looks like they are now at only more than 5,000 instead of 50k, but kept the corporate logos.

And the "kamrindanielle" that is posting here seems to be affiliated with CloudBoost whilst using "they" instead of "we". So they sure keep an eye on the threads here.
