Why We Sort by Interest Score

Interest score is the default sort because it's the broadest signal of market awareness. But the table includes engagement ratio for a reason. If I were evaluating these products, I'd re-sort by engagement in my head. The products with the highest engagement-to-interest ratio tend to be the ones that delivered on their promise.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

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.
