Launches & hit rate
9 days left blank: votes still coming in (launches under 48h old), incomplete day, or no launches — not shown as zero.
Faded bars are incomplete days (today, or days before every selected source was being collected).

Stocks in this sector (COMM)
Highest traction among products launched in the last 7 days. Traction for older Product Hunt launches is frozen (votes stop being re-read ~31–36h after launch; Show HN after 7 days), so this is each product’s last recorded traction. 169 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
