We invented (product) time traveling 🔮

Time travel is mathematically possible (according to the 5th Google search result on the topic). You can now also go back in time to explore the most popular products of the day on Product Hunt! 😺

Overcast launched 3 years ago this week. 2 years ago Pocket Listen finished #1 (before it was acquired by Mozilla). Exactly a year ago we saw the most upvoted comment of all-time (before Jian Yang smashed the record pitching not hotdog). 🌭

Also...

You can now go back and see the top products for any year/month! Here are the most upvoted products for 2015, 2016, and 2017 (so far). 🏆

If your AI product has an onboarding step that says "tell us about your business" — your users are lying to you. Not maliciously. They just write whatever sounds good in the moment, skip half the fields, and click next.

Brandfetch's Brand Context API gives you structured brand data for 50M+ brands in a single call: voice,mission, positioning, audience, competitors, all of it. Pre-fill your onboarding before the user types a word.

Ground your AI features so they stop hallucinating about the brands your LLM barely knows. It's the scraping pipeline most teams never get around to building, already built. 100 free calls, no credit card.
