This is super cool. 😀
@thomasmeagher - A lot of this data are vanity metrics, to be honest. Although we do want to have more registered users, many people use Product Hunt for months without logging in. The majority of people are silent consumers and derive a lot of value from Product Hunt. What's more important is that we're helping people discover useful or interesting products that people want to use, buy, and share.
A proxy for this is outbound (repeated) traffic. We now drive well over 3.5M visits to products every month. I'll do a fist pump when we reach 10M... soon.
@rrhoover The hunt's domain? I would use it to track how startups did over time... The domain is unique, so that I thought about checking angel.co or crunchbase for investment filings, jobs, press etc so that you can come up with s/th like "product featured on PH got this investment on average"... Just a bit like a first attempt with "Product Hunt and BetaList" on metahunt.co/stats . Ok, that are statistics, again ;-)

Great job on this @sebastiansteins - Just blew some time geeking out over the stats. The Time Machine piece is cool too. Any plan to add a "Maker" or "Hunter" leaderboard along with the products?
Interesting dataset, liking "how difficult it is to get featured" >> tho is avg number of votes directly correlated to getting featured @ryan ? I've seen projects with far less votes get featured, and inversely -- products with lots of votes buried.
I built this to play around with the PH api and to track the performance of startups featured on high traffic sites like PH or BetaList. Over the few days I spent building it I dug deeper and deeper into more feature ideas and expanded the original idea...
I am happy to hear feedback!
@v4violetta No, you can use the buttons and arrows to navigate to any date you like ;)

@v4violetta@sebastiansteins Have been wanting to do an almost TBT look at the companies that were featured on Product Hunt a year or 6 months ago. Just to see if they are still around and what has changed, so you have saved me a ton of time.
