Experimental: traction = early-adopter votes (PH) / points (HN), not downloads or usage; updated about once a day and frozen ~31–36h after launch on Product Hunt (7 days on Show HN); sectors come from keyword rules (~70–75% accurate); data starts Oct 3 (HN) / Oct 9 (PH). “—” means not enough data; nothing is estimated. How it works

Stocks

Every launch is a stock: its traction is its votes, its sector is its category, and LNCH is the whole market. How it works

Launches: Weekday effect likely: Wed–Fri is compared with Sun–Tue, not the same weekdays last week (not enough history yet; expected from about Oct 19). Launch counts and hit rates swing a lot by weekday.Hit rate: Weekday effect likely: Mon–Wed is compared with Fri–Sun, not the same weekdays last week (not enough history yet; expected from about Oct 21). Launch counts and hit rates swing a lot by weekday.

Launched on Oct 16 (the latest complete UTC day) or listed since the previous run (IPO), ranked by current traction. Product Hunt launches all list at 07:01 UTC; their traction has had at most one or two daily updates. 55 matches. Spam giveaways excluded.

Mixed sources. Traction is Product Hunt votes (PH) or Show HN points (HN) — not the same unit, and PH has ~7× the launches. So each source is ranked on its own and the two are alternated (PH #1, HN #1, PH #2, HN #2, …); the # column is that combined order. Pick a source above to see one source’s full ranking.

Traction = current votes (PH) / points (HN) — early-adopter attention, not downloads or usage. Gained = traction gained between the two latest daily ingest runs; Gain % only when the previous traction was 5+. Buzz = comments gained in that interval. “frozen” = no longer tracked, so no current gain. How it works
