Every group here is a page of its own — each one checked daily.
The numbersIs it still shipping, is it overpriced, where did it land — and what the price is built from.
League price & chart
No money. No seat. It goes on your record — and in 28 days reality settles it.
Calls are closed while we rebuild accounts. You can still read every one of them.
Security. Launched 16d ago on Product Hunt, picking up 17 votes. Today, it's been quiet for 9 days and the price has started to bleed.
Already bleeding a little every day, and it accelerates the longer it stays quiet.
We check this site every day, ourselves. A founder can post “still working on it” — a claim like that doesn't price. What we price is what we can verify from the outside: evidence, not announcements. The real question isn't “will this be huge?” — it's “will they still be moving in four weeks?”
Shipping record

Beyan değil kanıt: founder “çalışıyoruz” diye post atabilir, ama sevk ettiyse izi kalır. ⚠️ Kaydı olmayan ürün “sevk etmedi” demek değildir — o üründe izleyecek bir kaynağımız yok demektir.
The market viewHow this launch is priced and ranked in our league — the investor side of the page.
ranked by the reality anchor, not the market price
It launched on Product Hunt with 17 votes.
No matter how much money goes in. There is no pump here — you can't make yourself right by buying more. The line only moves on things that actually happened: an award, revenue that grew, a new platform, code that shipped — or silence.
En eski 1 hareket bu listede yok — toplam 13 olay var. 4 quiet days in between are left out — nothing happened on them. A launch that goes quiet eases down a little at a time — never a cliff you could have run from the night before.
Daily tracking just started for this launch — the first point is on the board. A second reading lands with tomorrow's run, and the curve builds from there.
How the launch is moving on its own board, day by day — the crowd's attention.
A flat line is normal: votes stop within a day or two of launch, on every board. What's unusual — and what actually counts — is a launch that keeps pulling votes long after its day is over.
About
Clearcan is a document scanner built on a simple idea: scanning should take seconds, not a subscription. Scan with automatic edge detection, search documents by their content (on-device text recognition in English, Russian, Romanian), copy text from any page, and export clean PDFs — no watermarks, no limits. Everything runs on your iPhone. No ads, no accounts, no analytics, no cloud. Built by an indie developer tired of scanner apps stuffed with paywalls.

The board it did best on sets the price. Every other board only adds to it if the launch also placed high on that board too — because just showing up somewhere isn't an achievement. Listing on twelve directories is free; placing well on them isn't.
