Nice work, @bitario! I like how you've included previews of the comments and image gallery. What feature(s) would you like to add to the app next?

@rrhoover It'd be great to get a notification when the products have been updated

@rrhoover Thanks! The app is currently well catered to exploring products, but not so much for exploring users. I think I'd want to tackle that next. Other than that, not quite sure yet. I've been focused on just launching 1.0, and now that it's out, we'll see where it goes next!

I love the tap-and-hold preview feature, wouldn't be surprised if you use Snapchat. A couple of thoughts: 1. The tap-and-hold is really smooth for horizontal panning. But when I pan vertically, the image jiggles left and right a little - even when I'm only moving my thumb straight up and down. 2. It's interesting that the settings button has the label "Spear" instead of "Settings". I get that you wanted the app name on-screen somewhere, but it comes at the cost of ambiguity. Overall, great v1! Looking forward to future updates.

@bryantpeng thanks for the feedback. I do agree that Spear in the top right is ambiguous and comes at a cost, but given how little of importance the current settings are, I think it's worth it. Somehow, every one knows to click it, like you ;)

Hey guys, Spear is a Product Hunt client that aims to make it easier and quicker to explore products on your iPhone. With more and more products every day, it's becoming a lot more difficult to explore each one, and clicking through to see each product takes a good amount of your time. Spear is built with speed in mind. You can tap and hold on the product image for QuickExplore. The product's site and respective discussion are also united into one, so you never have to choose between one or the other. Besides that, it's just a whole different Product Hunt experience, so I'd love to know what you think!

Link doesn't work on iPhone - I managed to open the link by choosing "open in safari".

@tonytanevski you're right, thanks. I've emailed PH with a better link, hopefully they update it. In the meantime this link works: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/...
