LaunchWakeAnnual data report
The State of Developer Launches 2026
We aggregated where technical founders actually launch — anonymized across every tracked launch — to answer the question no blog post can: which channels really drive signups, which convert, and where posts get removed.
The 2026 report is still compiling
This report is built from real launch outcomes as founders run their distribution plans through LaunchWake. Once enough launches are tracked (we only publish a channel after at least 5 posts, so no single founder's numbers are ever exposed), the full breakdown appears here — by channel, category, ban risk and timing.
Want this signal for your next launch?
LaunchWake turns this aggregate into a plan for your specific product: where to post, how to post without getting banned, and which channels actually drive your signups — free, no account needed.
