The most clapped article ever was written this year, where designer Jason Li showed how a "clapper slider" would be more effective than pressing the clap icon 50x to get to 50.

Most notably, the 2nd most clapped article of all-time was published just last week! "The Rock Test" – with 72k claps – in which @TheRock himself chimed in offering hugs for the Product Hunt team.

So we’re just… talking to software now?

ElevenLabs has been the go-to for voice for a while. Now they've turned that expertise into agents that actually get things done. You set one up, it talks like a real person, listens, responds, and helps handle the task — support calls, bookings, whatever the job is. Not a demo, not a "press 1 for sales" situation. It's ready to deploy. Feels like one of those shifts where the interface quietly changes. Less typing, less clicking, more just saying what needs to happen and letting it play out.
