CLUSTER CODES-BARCODES-SCANS-2 · 29 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2016-06-30
QR and barcode scanner apps
This cluster consists of QR and barcode scanning applications that read codes from cameras, images, and files, often storing history and offering actions like sharing or opening links. Entries predating the index are sporadic, with a concentration in 2024 after an initial entry in 2016. Traction leaders by activity signal are Barcode-Scanner, Easy QR Code Reader - Scanner, and CoBang, all with zero stars.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
