Hey, PH folks! I'm the dev behind Hackerhunt. As much as I love Hacker News and it's ranking algorithm for the front page news, it has a downside for the Show HN submissions. A lot of cool and useful stuff people have actually made themselves gets lost without a real chance to get noticed. That's where the idea of a curated and categorised, à-la-Product-hunt, list was born. Suggestions are welcome! 🤛

@degif I love the simplicity of the list layout! Reminds me of the early layout of Product Hunt before GIFs/thumbnails took over on the homepage. I really, really wish there was an option to hide them.

@degif @tomfme I use the chrome extension "Stylus" for simple things like this. You can quickly inject a rule to hide gifs on the PH homepage 😄

@degif looks like there is still some lorem ipsum when you click on a category.

🚀 Congrats on the launch! The naming is cool. Anyway, how is it better that Product Hunt? 1. Do you have a spam filter? 😕 If everybody can easily submit their product to Hacker Hunt and "cheat on votes", it can become the mass of spam... Btw, I haven't seen "submit" product button. 2. Can you avoid duplications? I mean, I or other founders can submit on PH, HN and to your HH 😄! So there is no reason for a user to see the same product everywhere... As a user, I will prefer to check only one place. Too much distractions already 3. 😈 What will you do if HN will improve their Show HN section? 4. How are you planning to grow the community over your HH? As a user of Product Hunt, I value most the community of people here... I honestly wish you good luck and don't think that I want to troll you with my feedback. ^ Lisa

@lisadziuba Hey, Lisa. I guess you got the idea all wrong :) Hacker Hunt is Hacker News Show HN posts tagged and categorised. You can't submit anything to Hacker Hunt directly. Think of it as a filter for Hacker News focused on products. If Hacker news improved Show HN themselves we would be proud and happy when a awesome resource becomes even more awesome 🤘 Hacker Hunt is more of a fun side-project - our team learned a ton of new stuff making it.

Great idea @degif and co. Will add to the list of websites to see before starting my day. HN Show is a great place to find interesting stuff but you make it easy and appealing. Thank you, guys!

hn is very noisy - my show:hn submissions usually take 2~3 tries before it gets picked up on hn, and sometimes not at all. This will be great for new showhns!

I remember reading an interview or something with @rrhoover when he first built PH. Great article. PH was literally this simple if not more. Keep it up!

This is nice! It'd be interesting if something existed that automatically posted Show:HN products to PH.
