Stocks in this sector (PROD)

Crossed the 10-vote traction line during the latest interval (Oct 30, 16:20 UTC → Oct 31, 15:35 UTC, 23.3h): under 10 at the previous run and 10+ now. Launches listed since the previous run (IPOs) have no earlier reading, so they’re left out (see New Listings). Only ~6% of launches ever get there. 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
