Biggest vote gain between the two latest ingest runs (Oct 17, 02:39 UTC → Oct 17, 13:13 UTC, 10.6h). Launches listed since the earlier run (IPOs) are left out — their “gain” would just be first-day votes — and appear in New Listings instead. 1 match. Spam giveaways excluded.

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
