Sunday in numbers

Sunday, Aug 30, 2026
  • 41 products appeared across 4 public launch boards. We have read 41 of them end to end (100.0% of the day).
  • 48.8% of the day put AI at the core of the product, while 9.8% never mention it at all.
  • More of the day was aimed at businesses: 5 products said they sell to consumers and 18 said they sell to businesses, out of 39 that named a buyer at all.

Every sentence above is assembled from a measurement made when this page was built. No number on this page is typed by hand, and no product is named: the report is counts only.

Who it sells to

One hundred squares are the whole day. The grey squares are products that said nothing about a buyer, and the palest are the ones we have not finished reading.

What the launch pages claimed

Three buckets, never two: says yes, says no, says nothing. Silence is not a no.

says yessays nosays nothingnot read yet

Every yes here is backed by a quote from the product's own page; a claim without one is not counted.

What the day charged

12 products printed at least one price. Bands hold the lower bound and exclude the upper: $10–29 means $10 up to but not including $30.

that day

Not printed: we had a reading for 41 of the day's 41 products (100.0%), and a share drawn from less than 70% of a cohort says more about our reading queue than about the day.

Prices in a currency other than the dollar are not converted; they are counted as unparsed and shown below. Making up an exchange rate on a page whose whole claim is measurement would be the most expensive kind of mistake here.

What AI does in it

Whether AI is the product, a feature beside it, unmentioned, or explicitly ruled out.

that day
  • core to the product48.8%20
  • a side feature24.4%10
  • not mentioned9.8%4
  • Read, said nothing17.1%7

"Never mentions it" is an absence of a claim, not a claim of absence. The two are counted separately here because conflating them once produced a headline that was wrong by two orders of magnitude.

How the day's attention was shared out

today

No board that publishes vote counts wrote products on this day, so there is no attention curve to draw. An absent measure is left absent.

What kind of thing it is

A product can be more than one of these — a web app with a mobile client counts in both — so the shares add up past 100%.

Read from each product's own pages, not from the board's category.

Where it runs

Cloud, on the user's own machine, or self-hosted on the buyer's server.

Whether the page says we or I

Whether the launch page speaks as a company or as one person.

This is what the page calls itself, not what we know about the team: a one-person company can still write "we". It is a floor on how many are solo, never a count of them.

What founders called their own product

The short phrase each page uses for itself. Plurals and capitalisation are folded together; nothing else is. This is the closest thing we have to a search term, and it arrives earlier than one: a founder starts building when they see the need, a search happens once the product exists.

Gained the most ground

Nothing cleared the bar today. A term only appears here if it was said by at least five products in the days before, so a phrase going from one to three is not printed as a trend.

41 products named what they are. 1 phrases were used by more than one of them, after folding plurals and capitalisation; everything else in the day was said once and is not listed.

There are not enough earlier days yet to say what is rising; the movement column fills in as the archive grows.

What the day leaned on

Products and platforms named on the launch page. Each one is also a dependency: if that API changes, this many pages have to change with it.

41 products named at least one other product or platform.

Where it was published

App stores, extension stores and package registries named on the page.

that day
  • Chrome Web Store4.9%2

7 products named a store or registry. The rest ship from their own site.

Who they said it was for

The audience named on the page, in the page's own words.

What the day was built with

Read from the live sites themselves, not from a survey: the analytics tag, the host's fingerprint, the payment script.

Only what a page reveals about itself can be seen here, so this is a floor and not a census. A site behind a proxy or with no tag shows nothing and is not counted as "none".

Which boards the day came from

A product can appear on more than one board, so the column adds up past the day's total. Vote counts are read now, not at launch time.

BoardProductsShare of dayVotesPer productMedian
Product Hunt3585.4%75021.42
Uneed37.3%103.33
BetaList24.9%
Tiny Startups12.4%44.04

Some boards publish a rank but no votes; those rows show a dash. An absent vote count is not a zero.

What it is about

The subject axis, assigned by a separate reading pass.

that day

Not printed: we had a subject for 0 of the day's 41 products (0.0%), and a share drawn from less than 70% of a cohort says more about our reading queue than about the day.

This axis is filled by its own pass, not by the main reading queue, so its coverage moves on its own schedule.

How many are still answering

12 days after the day closed, we asked every one of them again.

Could not reach
left out of the rate
Too young to mean much yet: almost nothing dies in its first month. The reading worth waiting for is this cohort at thirty days.

The denominator leaves out the ones we could not reach: a product behind a bot wall is not a dead product. Calling it dead would be the cheapest way to make this number look decisive and the fastest way to make it wrong.

How this issue was made

The window
One UTC day: Sunday, Aug 30, 2026. A product belongs to the day its board says it launched, not the day our collector reached it — otherwise the report would print our own crawl speed as market news.
The publishing gate
A day is published only once the collector has run the morning after it, which is when that day's boards are read. Days without that run are not published and not quietly padded. 41 products cleared the minimum of 40.
Where the answers come from
Each product's own pages are read and answered question by question, with a quote required for every yes. 41 of 41 products were read all the way through before this issue was built.
What is not here
No product names, no rankings, no scores. A block whose cohort was read less than 70% of the way through is not printed at all, and says so where it would have been.
