FalsiScan – Make it look like a PDF has been hand signed and scanned launched on April 8, 2020 with 770 votes, #5 of 5,003 launches that month and more than 99% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 6 years on.
In plain words
FalsiScan is a tool that makes PDFs appear as though they have been hand-signed and scanned. It processes documents to create the visual effect of a physical signature and scanning, giving digital documents a handwritten appearance. The tool is designed for users who need their PDFs to look like they've gone through a traditional signing and scanning workflow. It launched in April 2020 and is hosted on GitLab.

https://github.com/OlexG/finclaw ^ repo if anyone wants to contribute. I realized that sometimes I'm pretty good at making random guesses about the future. (I.E, I think OpenAI will beat Anthropic in the short term, etc...) However, I'm bad at converting these guesses into actual market plays I can profit from. As such, I wanted to make a tool that connects to the right APIs and launches a swarm of agent experts to generate related plays based on your prediction.
