Languages in 2022: The Data

The category contracted by 22% compared to 2021, moving from 27 launches to 21. Average interest score across all 2022 launches: 80. Average engagement ratio: 0.23.

Frequently Asked Questions

Engagement ratio captures discussion quality. A product can game interest with a well-timed launch. It can't fake 200 substantive discussion threads. We default to engagement ratio because it's harder to inflate.

Highest community engagement at launch, measured by interest score and engagement ratio. These are traction rankings, not editorial picks.

Launch timing matters. Q1 products face different competition than Q4 products. Seasonal patterns affect both launch volume and community attention. Quarterly grouping makes comparisons fairer.

No. Some of the best-loved tools in our index have modest interest scores but sky-high engagement ratios. That pattern means a smaller audience cared deeply. I'd take that over 5,000 interest and crickets in the discussion threads.

Over 30. AI, Developer Tools, Productivity, Marketing, SaaS, Design, and everything in between. Most products appear in 2-3 categories. Some show up in 5+.
