Highlight anything. Understand what your AI is saying.
What this is

No money. No seat. It goes on your record — and in 28 days reality settles it.

AI. Launched 4d ago on Product Hunt, picking up 3 votes. Today, it's live, but nothing on the site has changed since we started watching.
Quiet for 4 days — no penalty yet, but quiet doesn't stay free.
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?”
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 3 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.
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
AI agents tell people things like "add your API key to theenv file" all day, and a lot of people just do it, without knowing what aenv file is. Gloss is for that moment. Highlight any text in any app, press a hotkey, and it explains what the thing is, why your AI wants it in your project (it can read your screen), what yes or no changes, and if you can undo it. One tap translates the card, Bangla by default. Free, open source, no accounts, your own key. There's also a pet.

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.
