My guess:
- Some B2C products, if you expect the biggest part of the upvoted to be from your existing users, which may have more time on the weekend
- Products that are not expected to reach the top of the list on weekdays (more competition) may achieve this on the weekend, which may give a popularity boost

@konrad_sx I see it the same way. Because when you have their B2B products and you are aiming for B2B – I think that most people from that sector (from big companies try to have something from the weekend/time off rather than think about corporate things). People, who are there solely for fun, will try to find something for their amusement or personal needs. So my guess is B2C is doing better during the weekend.
Not quite sure if there's a specific niche of products but I do think it tends to lean towards smaller brands that require a "[1-5] Product of the Day" badge for confidence building.
I'm hoping to launch littlebro.app in October during the week to get more eyes on it. At the end of the day, I feel like it's about the strategy of what you use the launch for.
I've seen a few patterns: 1) B2C products tend to get more visibility from their existing user base on weekends when people have more free time. 2) Some niche or lower-profile products can reach the top of the list more easily on weekends when there's less competition from big weekday launches. Getting that top spot, even just for the weekend, can provide a nice boost. 3) Products related to hobbies, entertainment, or casual use may resonate more with the weekend audience mindset vs. work-related tools.
