Beta waitlist
Track your deenz.
Rate the funky stuff.
Brag about your stash.
For the cans you loved, the weird ones you need to warn people about, and the shelf you keep meaning to show off.
No spam, no selling your address to a tuna-coin ICO. Promise.
We asked the tin people first.
We started by asking questions. The first version of Tinfin is built around the things people kept coming back to: remembering what they liked, logging tins quickly, and finding the next one worth opening.

Road Map
The short version: build the app people actually want first, then earn the right to do the bigger stuff.
Hey, Javin and Miles here. We started Tinfin because we were tired of tracking our collections in spreadsheets and googling “best tinned fish” only to get lists that felt... off.
We posted in r/CannedSardines and a bunch of you said you had the same problem. So we're building the thing we (and apparently 200+ of you) actually want.
Here's what we're thinking:
01
The app first
Track your collection, scan barcodes, see real community ratings, share your stash. The basics need to work before we do anything fancy.
02
Tell the stories
Visit the people who make the tins you love: fishing practices, family histories, facilities, and short docs you’d actually want to watch.
03
Make buying easier
Retailer links first. Later, if it makes sense, direct sourcing for better prices, better experience, and harder-to-find tins.
04
Community-curated boxes
Maybe a monthly or quarterly tin box picked by the community, not a random marketing team.
The real goal:
Build something useful that lasts. Pay ourselves and eventually a small team well. Keep listening to what the community actually needs instead of chasing growth metrics.
We're talking to people from r/CannedSardines directly, taking notes, and trying to figure out what makes sense. If you have thoughts, hit us up.
Join the waitlist and help us build this thing.
