Shady as fuck. This tactic is also known as lying. Just some more Medium trash

I agree. The author should just omit the "Made with love in $COUNTRY" line. No need for all these hoops.

Or you could have it display the country the client was accessing the site from only if you have done work in that country.

I get that there is some value in knowing that your software is made in the country that you live, but this is just deceptive

Writing the string "Made with love in $COUNTRY" would actually be kind of funny.
