Stocks in this sector (MISC)
Biggest % gain over the latest interval (Oct 17, 02:39 UTC → Oct 17, 13:13 UTC, 10.6h), among products whose previous traction was 5+ (below that, 2 → 6 votes would read as +200%). 5 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
