Experimental: traction = early-adopter votes (PH) / points (HN), not downloads or usage; updated about once a day and frozen ~31–36h after launch on Product Hunt (7 days on Show HN); sectors come from keyword rules (~70–75% accurate); data starts Oct 3 (HN) / Oct 9 (PH). “—” means not enough data; nothing is estimated. How it works

Sectors

Each sector is a category of launches. Launches = supply; hit rate (share reaching 10+ votes) = demand. How it works

No sector's hit rate rose by a statistically significant amount in this window (needs 100+ settled launches per window and |z| ≥ 2). Changes inside the noise show as “—” in the table on the Trending tab.

Biggest change in hit rate (percentage points), Oct 12–Oct 14 vs Oct 5–Oct 7 — settled launches only (older than 48h), so this lags launches by ~2 days. Only statistically significant changes are listed: 100+ settled launches in both windows and a two-proportion test with |z| ≥ 2. Hit rate = share of launches with 10+ votes (PH) / points (HN), counted only once a launch is 48h old. Click a column header to sort.
