Reading the Engagement Ratio

Above 0.30 is strong. It means people engaged deeply. Between 0.15 and 0.30 is average. Below 0.15 means the product attracted eyeballs but not conversation. That's usually a red flag.

The ratio matters more than raw discussion count. A product with 20 discussions and 100 interest (0.20 ratio) likely served its niche better than one with 100 discussions and 5,000 interest (0.02 ratio).

Frequently Asked Questions

The index tracks launches automatically. If something's missing, it either launched below our engagement threshold or hasn't been indexed yet.

Primary target audience at launch. Some products serve both. We classify based on who the product was positioned for, not who ended up using it.

We're working on it. Right now, the index captures launch data and community metrics. Direct product links are coming in a future update.

April 2021. Five years of launches, covering the entire AI boom, the no-code wave, and multiple cycles of every major category.

Not yet. The current index captures launch-period engagement. We're evaluating ways to track post-launch traction, but it's a different data problem and we want to get it right.

Stay ahead of the next launch wave
