Where it shows up

The numbersIs it still shipping, is it overpriced, where did it land — and what the price is built from.

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

Dev. Launched 4d ago on Devhunt, picking up 3 votes. Today, it's live, but nothing on the site has changed since we started watching.
Moving right now. The clock only starts when a launch goes 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?”
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 Devhunt with 3 votes. It also showed up on 1 other board — but didn't place well enough on any of them, so none of them add to the price. Listing on twelve directories is free; placing well on them isn't.
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
LAN Orangutan is a lightweight network scanner with persistent device labeling, multi-network support, and Tailscale integration. This is a self-hosted tool that scans your network and shows you every device on it, all from a clean web dashboard or the command line. We built it because the existing options felt like two extremes: bare command-line utilities on one end, and heavy, complex monitoring platforms that take real effort to set up on the other. We wanted the thing in the middle that just works, with almost no setup. What it does: • Auto-discovers every device on your network with nmap (IP, MAC, and vendor) • Lets you label, group, and add notes to devices, and they persist across scans • Scans multiple networks at once • Picks up your Tailscale peers automatically • Gives you a modern web dashboard with light and dark mode, plus a full CLI with JSON output • Ships as a single binary with no dependencies on Linux, macOS, and Windows It’s free and open source (MIT), built by 291 Group. Our whole philosophy is to keep it the simplest, fastest way to see what’s on your network.
Where it launched
2 platformsThe 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.
