The category contracted by 71% compared to 2025, moving from 195 launches to 56. Average interest score across all 2026 launches: 124. Average engagement ratio: 0.29.
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+.
