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)
Crossed the 10-vote traction line during the latest interval (Oct 17, 13:13 UTC → Oct 18, 13:29 UTC, 24.3h): 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. 5 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
