Stocks in this sector (SOCL)
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. 51 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
