Product Hunt 2.0 for iOS - The best new products, every day, in your pocket

@rstankov 🙌

@rstankov congrats! Been waiting a while for this! No upvoting comments?

@rstankov Great job.

@rstankov Great work! I've been using PH daily exclusively on my phone for months now. This is a major improvement! I've always known the desktop experience is better, but the phone is where I browse. The desktop is where you get shit done.

@chrismessina We didn't wanted to clutter the comments UI too much. They will come in a later version, but we need to find a good UI for them first.

@rrhoover did anyone find that Easter egg or was it just me?

@rrhoover I'm still looking!

@jeshalom you were the first, Jack! 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

@rrhoover Tweeted you a screenshot of a potential easter egg and/or your true feelings for me.

@rrhoover @marc_rosa It's like a mini-game within the app. Nice.

@wimbet we've had a lot of demand for an Android version but we've been very focused on building a great web and iOS experience first and learning what works (and what doesn't) before expanding to another platform. We don't have any immediate plans to work on Android but I promise, it will come! In the meantime, I hope our mobile web app is a decent alternative.

@wimbet @rrhoover yeah looking forward to the android version, but right move to first "finish" for one platform and then move to the other.

@wimbet I made a PH client for Android a while back. You can find it on Google Play here: https://play.google.com/store/ap...

@raulriera yes, it's be awesome to see what third party tools/libraries they used.

@raulriera @applecider_ totally! Maybe a collection of products used to build the app? @rrhoover

@raulriera Hey Raul, the animations are done with native iOS code - keyframes, spring with damping, CA emitters etc. No external libraries / frameworks. It would actually be better if it was all done consistently with a proper animation library, and proper attention to timing, easing etc... Next time!

@raulriera @davidkmckinney maybe this is the old man in me coming out, but back in my day, our apps weren't so excessively animated ;) I like when animation shows the relationship between two things, but feel like a lot of the sliding in and bouncing of elements in the PH app don't add much value. Might just be my personal preference though. (if you did want to go all in on animations through, I love this demo from the Campus Quad app...hints at what a hyper-animated app future might look like)

@raulriera @davidkmckinney Great job on those animations! Looks slick!

@rstankov @davidkmckinney @thomasmeagher Both :)

@odower same here :(

@odower @vjnotes I got the same. Just delete the app and then download from the App Store again.

@vjnotes @thomasmeagher yep, figured. thanks

@jeshalom not yet! Coming soon. What other types of notifications would you like to see?

@rrhoover the basics I suppose. When someone comments, replies to your comment, perhaps when you're added as a Maker of a product, and if your post hits certain milestones (50 upvotes, 100 upvotes).

@djsenior13 we've received several complaints from people in the community flagging new product updates that aren't major updates. If every product update was posted on Product Hunt, 90% of the posts would be existing products. Yes, some updates are allowed if significant and we're working on ways for the community to define this subjective definition.

@robertbenj it is in our backlog. But before tackling iPad, there still some rough edges on the iPhone app. We are already working on iOS 2.1 :)

@rstankov sweet, look forward to it!
