All launches
Every launch is a stock: its traction is its votes, its sector is its category, and LNCH is the whole market. How it works
Data as of Oct 18, 2026, 12:36 PM UTC · traction last updated Oct 18, 13:29 UTC · updates about once a day
Traction is early-adopter votes (Product Hunt) or points (Show HN), not usage. It stops updating about 31–36 hours after launch on Product Hunt and 7 days on Show HN. Categories come from keyword rules (about 70–75% accurate). Nothing is estimated.
launches · Oct 15–Oct 17 vs Oct 8–Oct 10 (same weekday)
Launched on Oct 17 (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. 25 matches. 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
