Vote Button for Product Hunt - A Product Hunt vote button for your site (community-made)

I personally think this is awesome as long as the voting algorithm knows to count those votes differently to prevent misuse. This could also serve as a badge of honor of being featured on PH. I would love to add it to our site - would like to hear a bit more from the community before we do.. Great job!

Great job! 🙌

btw, this button does not work on sites with SSL/HTTPS

This looks interesting. Will give it a try.

Would something like this be allowed in a newsletter? Say, you send out a newsletter to your users asking if they'll vote for you. I'm just wondering what the PH guidelines are/how this would be viewed.

Nice tool. Can u integrate a vote button rather than opening th product hunt page ?

Once a product moves off the home page, I tend to loose track of it. My upvotes also function as bookmarks. This will be great to quickly add to my list and then be able to come back and review later.

Nice to see Yvo got this out there. well done!

My concern is that this serves to reduce the level-nes of the PH playing field. The idea of product hunt, in my mind at least, is anybody who has an idea that captures the interest of the PH community, can get broad exposure to a group of likeminded users. Allowing any submitter with a large independent audience to bring that audience (by posting the vote button on their home page) to PH for the purpose of voting up will: - Drive up the average # of votes at a rate faster than the growth of the contributing community (a bad thing for a healthy community) - Materially harm the chances for products without a web outlet (e.g. An app in the store) - Make it more likely that the PH top pages are dominated by large brands vs. scrappy startups. The PH app doesn't scroll comments so I'm going to stop now. 😄

I was curious - just tried creating a button but the demo doesn't show count and the button doesn't link to the page. Looks like the Vote Button is DEAD or KILLED...!!
