Tablif Aftermath Index · Week 30 · Monday to Sunday

The Aftermath Index, Jul 20 – 26, 2026

Everything here launched on one of 12 public launch boards during this week — dated by the board's own launch date, not by the day we happened to find it. The index is about what happened after that: who is still answering, who kept shipping, who went quiet.

56.9% of the 6,827 products that launched this week — that is the share of the whole cohort, not of the products carrying a tag on this axis, which is the denominator the panel below uses. Read from each product's own description: this counts the products whose text never raises the subject, which is an absence of a claim rather than a claim of absence.

This week's cohort, 1 day on

Every other number on this page is frozen to the week it describes. This one is not: it is the same cohort of products, asked again today. That is the whole point of the index — the launch is the starting line, not the result.

99.2%6,214 / 6,261
still answering 1 day after the week closedtoday

Of 6,827 products in the cohort, 47 have stopped answering and 566 cannot be determined — those 566 are excluded from the percentage rather than guessed at. The per-board rows beside this add up to more than 6,827: a product posted to three boards appears in all three.

Does the board you launch on change your odds?
Same question, per board, at 1 day

Not yet — and that is the honest answer at this age. 6 of the 8 boards shown have not lost a single product yet; the lowest sits at 99.1% still answering. Most products simply have not had time to die.

This section starts ranking boards on its own, the week the deaths spread out enough to mean something. Nothing here needs to be edited for that to happen.

Boards with fewer than 40 products in this cohort are not shown — one death would swing them by ten points.today

The week, day by day — all 12 boards

Most launch boards publish daily; a few only weekly. The deeper the cell, the more launches dated to that day. Rows marked 'one column' put their whole week on a single day — either because the source publishes weekly or because that is simply where this week landed — so their blank cells are missing resolution, not quiet days. Each product is counted once per board, on the earliest date that board gave it, which is why the cells add up to the week column.

Busiest day on the daily boards: Tue (1,200). The 5 boards that landed on one column are excluded from that claim — their whole week lands on one column, which would invent a rhythm that isn't there.

Every axis we tag on, at once

We describe each product along twelve axes — who it's for, what it plugs into, what it runs on, what language it speaks. Here is all twelve for this week's cohort, each panel scaled to its own top value. Colour marks the family the axis belongs to, the same grouping the site menu uses.

Each panel shows its top five values and its own n — panels are not comparable to each other, only within themselves. A product can carry more than one value on the same axis (two languages, three integrations), which is why the rows do not sum to n. These tags come from the reading pass, which had covered 100.0% of this cohort (6,824 of 6,827) when the page was built. Unlike the launch counts, that figure is not frozen: a product read after publication changes these panels, so treat them as the state of the reading rather than a closed measurement.

Where two answers meet

A single axis tells you what exists. Two axes together tell you what goes with what — tools for email that assume you're on Google Workspace, or privacy-motivated products that refuse to upload anything. The number on the right is how many times more often the pair appears than it would if the two tags were unrelated.

Pairs that travel together
Ranked by how surprising the overlap is, not by size
Pairs need at least 20 products this week. Same-meaning pairs are dropped (a product tagged self-hostedon two axes is one fact, not a pattern), and one side must always be an intent axis — who it's for, what they're dealing with, or what's bothering them.that week

Cells below five products are left blank rather than printed as a number — under the threshold we cannot tell a real zero from a thin one. Each row is labelled with the size of that whole audience, because the cells cover only a small share of it: an integration is something a minority of products name at all. Columns are the 8 most-named integrations this week.that week

What kind of thing shipped, and in what language

Two different questions, two different forms. 'Kind' is a part-to-whole split, so it reads as one circle — and the circle only closes because everything outside the top five is drawn as its own slice. Language is a set of independent tags — a product can speak three — so it reads as a ranked list, not a pie.

A tag here means the product's own description is written in that script — not that it offers a translation. A “many languages” claim is not a script, so it is not counted here.that week

Who they were built for — last week against this one

The same 8 audiences, two weeks. The dot on the left is last week, the dot on the right is this one, and the bar between them is the size of the move. Two bars would have read as two separate series; this is the same audience at two moments.

Only printed because both weeks cleared the same coverage bar — otherwise the difference would be ours, not the market's. ⚠️ A tag can change because the market moved or because our tagger learned a new value that week — this chart cannot tell those two apart, so read it as a direction, not a measurement.that week

Tags with fewer than 12 products across both weeks are excluded — small counts swing wildly and would dominate this list. The same caveat applies as above: part of any move can be our own taxonomy changing rather than the market.that week

What we actually read

Every product here was read, not just counted: a language model reads the description its makers published and writes a one-line summary plus up to five judgement fields. A field is left empty when the description does not say it, so these bars measure what the source text actually contained as much as what we wrote.

The caveats we wrote down

“What to watch out for” is the only field in this report that is a judgement rather than a measurement. It is also the rarest — most products don't get one. 6 of 579 are shown here, picked by a hash of the product id so the sample does not favour the longest notes.

What the week did to standing products

Products that launched before this week, priced on Monday and again on Sunday. The average and the median sit next to each other on purpose: when they disagree, the average is being carried by a handful of outliers and the median is the typical product.

Which boards carried them

One product can appear on several boards, so these add up to more than the week's total. Board size here is reach for that week only — not a ranking of the boards themselves.

Fastest movers this week

Not the loudest launch — the ones that kept moving after it. Showing 4 of 516 products from this week that shipped at least one day since launching and have a screenshot to show; these are the ones with the most shipping days.

Gone before anyone looked

Launched this week and already not answering — 8 of 47 shown, shortest-lived first. The number next to each is how many days we could still reach it, which is also the honest limit of what we know about it.

Questions this week's data answers

Everything below is generated from the figures on this page — same window, same method, nothing added. It is written as questions because that is how both people and language models look things up.

The week in numbers

How many products launched on public launch boards in the week of Jul 20 – 26, 2026?

6,827 products launched across 12 public launch boards in the week of Jul 20 – 26, 2026. Tablif dates each launch by the board's own launch date rather than by the day the product was discovered, and only publishes a week once all seven of its days were collected.

How many of the products launched in Jul 20 – 26, 2026 were still online afterwards?

91.0% were still answering — 6,214 of 6,827. 47 had already stopped responding and 566 could not be determined because the site sat behind a bot wall or timed out. "Still answering" means the site returns a response, which is not the same as the product being maintained.

Which day of the week do most indie products launch?

Tue was the busiest day in the week of Jul 20 – 26, 2026, with 1,200 launches. That figure counts only boards that publish daily; the boards that release once a week put their entire week on a single day and would invent a rhythm that is not there.

How many products launched on more than one board in the same week?

146 of the 6,827 products launched in Jul 20 – 26, 2026 appeared on two or more of the boards Tablif watches. Cross-posting is why the per-board figures add up to more than the week's total.

How many newly launched products went quiet straight away?

47 products launched in Jul 20 – 26, 2026 were no longer answering when Tablif last checked, out of 6,827 that week. A site that stops answering has not necessarily been abandoned, but it is the earliest external signal available.

What happened to the prices of products that had already launched?

Across 10,181 products that launched before Jul 20 – 26, 2026 and were priced on both the Monday and the Sunday of that week, the average move was +2.08%; 3,807 gained value, 3,774 lost value and 2,600 were unchanged. Products that launched during the week are excluded because their opening ramp is a settling artefact — including them read about five times higher.

How much of this data is checked by a person rather than a machine?

6,824 of the 6,827 products launched in Jul 20 – 26, 2026 were read and summarised. The reading is done by a language model over each product's own description — the text its makers published on the launch board — not by a human editor and not by copying a third-party review. 5,969 carry a written explanation of how the product works, 3,136 a note on who it suits, 2,150 a pricing note and 608 an explicit caveat; a field is left empty when the description does not state it, rather than filled with a guess. The counts, liveness checks and price moves are measured automatically; these notes are written.

How many products launch in a language other than English?

193 of the products launched in Jul 20 – 26, 2026 published their own description in a script other than the Latin alphabet used for English, most often Español (51), 中文 (40), Français (36). Tablif detects this from the writing system of that description, not from a claim about supported languages — a product that advertises "many languages" is not counted here unless its own text is written in one.

What kinds of things launched in Jul 20 – 26, 2026?

339 of the products launched in Jul 20 – 26, 2026 carry a "kind" tag, spread across 10 distinct values; the largest are A directory (89), A service, not software (86), A template or kit (86), A mobile app (76). Most products carry one kind but a few carry two, which is why the 343 tags outnumber the tagged products. Shares are of that tagged group rather than of every launch.

What the products were

What do newly launched indie tools promise most often?

Among products launched in Jul 20 – 26, 2026, the most common answers on Tablif's "Must-haves" axis were Doesn't mention AI (3,886), Free (1,553), No sign-up (660). 4,881 of that week's products carry a tag on this axis, spread across 18 distinct values.

Among products launched in Jul 20 – 26, 2026, the most common answers on Tablif's "Instead of" axis were An alternative to something (390), Instead of juggling tools (142), Instead of doing it by hand (74). 667 of that week's products carry a tag on this axis, spread across 22 distinct values. Tags are read from the product's own description, so a product that never states this does not appear on the axis at all.

Where do newly launched indie tools run?

Among products launched in Jul 20 – 26, 2026, the most common answers on Tablif's "Runs on" axis were Runs on iPhone (289), Runs on Android (208), Runs on Mac (183). 635 of that week's products carry a tag on this axis, spread across 7 distinct values.

Tags are read from the product's own description, so a product that never states this does not appear on the axis at all.

Where they launched

How many products launched on Product Hunt in the week of Jul 20 – 26, 2026?

5,455 products launched on Product Hunt in the week of Jul 20 – 26, 2026 — the largest of the 12 boards Tablif watches, out of 6,827 distinct products that week. Because a product can be posted to several boards, the per-board figures deliberately overlap and do not sum to the week's total.

How many products launched on PeerPush in the week of Jul 20 – 26, 2026?

PeerPush carried 542 launches in the week of Jul 20 – 26, 2026, against 5,455 on Product Hunt. Boards are counted from their own launch dates, and a product cross-posted to two boards is counted by both.

How many products launched on Peerlist in the week of Jul 20 – 26, 2026?

Peerlist carried 239 launches in the week of Jul 20 – 26, 2026, against 5,455 on Product Hunt. Boards are counted from their own launch dates, and a product cross-posted to two boards is counted by both.

How many products launched on TinyLaunch in the week of Jul 20 – 26, 2026?

TinyLaunch carried 228 launches in the week of Jul 20 – 26, 2026, against 5,455 on Product Hunt. Boards are counted from their own launch dates, and a product cross-posted to two boards is counted by both.

How big are the smaller launch boards?

In the week of Jul 20 – 26, 2026 the remaining 8 boards carried Uneed 155, Fazier 109, BetaList 104, OpenHunts 71, Devhunt 28, Smol Launch 24, MicroLaunch 22, Tiny Startups 18. Together they account for 531 listings — smaller boards are not necessarily quieter markets, they are narrower ones.

What goes with what

Do products tagged "Online sellers" also tend to be "Works with Shopify"?

Yes — in the week of Jul 20 – 26, 2026 the two appeared together 35.5 times more often than they would if the tags were unrelated, across 22 products. That ratio compares the observed overlap with what statistical independence would predict, so it identifies a genuine pairing rather than simply the two largest tags.

Do products tagged "Email" also tend to be "Works with Google"?

Yes — in the week of Jul 20 – 26, 2026 the two appeared together 24.3 times more often than they would if the tags were unrelated, across 38 products. That ratio compares the observed overlap with what statistical independence would predict, so it identifies a genuine pairing rather than simply the two largest tags.

Do products tagged "I don't trust the cloud" also tend to be "Data stays with you"?

Yes — in the week of Jul 20 – 26, 2026 the two appeared together 11.7 times more often than they would if the tags were unrelated, across 130 products. That ratio compares the observed overlap with what statistical independence would predict, so it identifies a genuine pairing rather than simply the two largest tags.

Do products tagged "Freelancers" also tend to be "Contracts & invoices"?

Yes — in the week of Jul 20 – 26, 2026 the two appeared together 9.8 times more often than they would if the tags were unrelated, across 28 products. That ratio compares the observed overlap with what statistical independence would predict, so it identifies a genuine pairing rather than simply the two largest tags.

Do products tagged "Video" also tend to be "Works with TikTok"?

Yes — in the week of Jul 20 – 26, 2026 the two appeared together 9.2 times more often than they would if the tags were unrelated, across 34 products. That ratio compares the observed overlap with what statistical independence would predict, so it identifies a genuine pairing rather than simply the two largest tags.

Do products tagged "Video" also tend to be "Works with YouTube"?

Yes — in the week of Jul 20 – 26, 2026 the two appeared together 8.7 times more often than they would if the tags were unrelated, across 45 products. That ratio compares the observed overlap with what statistical independence would predict, so it identifies a genuine pairing rather than simply the two largest tags.

Answers cover Jul 20 – 26, 2026only and were computed from Tablif's own daily collection across 12 launch boards. How these numbers are measured.

What this report can't tell you

Every number above has an edge. These are the ones we know about.

  • Twelve boards is not the whole market. Plenty of products launch to a mailing list, a Discord, or nowhere at all. Those never enter this report, and nothing here should be read as “everything that shipped”.
  • “Still answering” is not “still alive”. We ask the site for a response. A parked page answers; a healthy product behind a bot wall does not. 566 of this week's launches sit in that gap.
  • Tags come from what the product says about itself. Every axis above is read off the product's own description. A tool that never says who it is for will not appear under any audience — that is our blind spot, not its absence.
  • One week is a week. Survival, shipping rhythm and price only mean something across months. Ask again in ninety days.
  • measured that week
  • measured today

Every figure on this page carries one of those two badges. A number without a badge would be a number without a date, and that is how reports start lying.
