There are big problems with the code base concerning security and performance.  Much of the custom code for RGB Daily is not leveraging caching properly.  Most of the inputs into the system are not even properly escaped for querying against the DB.  Why am I saying all of this?  The take home is not to sit back and relax while you think your dream system is being built.  You still need to dive in on your own if you are an engineer and know what your doing.  If you’re not the programming type you need to hire a third party auditor before the final release of the code is delivered.  It’s actually better if you can have the code reviewed in milestones.

Status of Launch

So launch is really late, but the code is ten times better for it.  I also know pretty much every corner of the codebase and that will benefit me as the founder /architect of this puppy.  If a potential partner of investor has a question I have the answers and that’s invaluable.  August is the last major month of coding and a formal launch will happen towards the end of the month.  This is a drop dead date.
