Did they ever tell you why you didn’t land the contract?

I’d bet the customer’s CTO/tech lead took one look at the codebase and was instantly discouraged because some novel and unknown frontend framework was used.

yeah (as became a theme really until we were acquired and it was no longer an issue) we didn't get past procurement as we failed some sort of due diligence check(s). Can't actually remember what it was specifically in that case, lacking some certification or weren't financially stable enough or some rubbish like that
