Each name opens the project's Project Note.

Methodology

This report counts public Project Notes by the UTC month they were first published on Project Radar, which is not the date a project launched. It covers only projects on Project Radar, not all indie projects. Categories come from each project's recorded profile facts as they stand on the date shown above. Platform and pricing breakdowns appear only in months where those facts are recorded for at least half of the projects, and a field with no recorded value is left out of that table's shares. Counts say nothing about product quality, usage or revenue. Hidden notes are excluded, so a total can change slightly if a note is later removed or corrected.
