These rankings tell you what the community thought at launch. They don't tell you what happened after. A product that launched strong might have stalled. A product with modest launch numbers might have iterated into something excellent.
Use this data as a starting point, not a verdict. The best tool for you depends on factors no launch score can capture: your team size, your budget, your existing stack.
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.
No. Zero sponsorships, zero paid placements. Rankings come directly from community engagement data.
We pull new launch data regularly and rebuild the entire index. Historical scores are preserved. A product's launch-day numbers don't change retroactively, which keeps the rankings honest.
Because interest score measures initial attention, not quality. A 300-interest product with 0.50 engagement ratio has a small, obsessed audience. That's usually a better sign than 3,000 interest with 0.08 engagement, which screams 'great marketing, thin product.'
The index tracks launches automatically. If something's missing, it either launched below our engagement threshold or hasn't been indexed yet.
