I'd want to see this data before committing to Kitemaker. The Design Tools space has alternatives that outperformed it on engagement ratio, and a few that launched in the past six months with fresher approaches.
The numbers below come from launch data. No pay-to-play, no editorial picks.
We're very excited to launch the new Kitemaker! Now even better at releasing you from micro management and the silos of traditional product development tools, supporting you with everything from organizing user feedback to shipping things people want.

A product that pulled 500 interest in 2022 faced a different competitive landscape than one pulling 500 in 2026. The bar rises every year as more products enter every category. Compare products within their year cohort, not across years.
Engagement ratios are more stable across time periods. A 0.40 engagement ratio meant the same thing in 2022 as it does now: people cared enough to discuss it at length.
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.
Check the comparisons section. We auto-generate side-by-side pages for products that share categories and have similar traction levels. If the pair you want isn't there, the products might be too far apart in engagement to make a meaningful comparison.
By community interest score. Higher score means more people engaged with the product at launch. We show engagement ratio as a secondary metric because it separates one-day hype from products that generated real conversation.
Launch-day attention. It's a popularity signal, not a quality score. A product with 2,000 interest might be worse than one with 400. The number tells you who showed up, not who stayed.
Discussion threads divided by interest score. Above 0.30 is strong. Means people cared enough to write about it. Below 0.15 is a warning sign: lots of eyeballs, not much substance. We've found it's the single best predictor of whether a product has staying power.
