The Leaderboard
Our ultra-fast Daily: Three takes on new products. Yesterday’s top ten launches. That’s it.
Learn to code by playing games 🃏🛠
What would you say if we told you there is no app on the market that tells you if code is Java or Not Java? Please build.
It's never too early to learn how to code. These days, elementary school kids are earning street cred building and launching apps. This (long) weekend, sit down with your kid, little cousin, or younger sibling and let them know that being a rocket surgeon is just a distraction on their way to a promising career as an engineer.
Get started with Littlecodr, an insanely fun card game that teaches kids the basics of code, Code Cards, a card game that lets anyone learn how to code (which you can now print for FREE), and Code Kingdoms, inspiring kids to learn coding by gaming.
There is also code:deck, a standard playing card deck with different coding languages.

Launching a groundbreaking new feature 🚀
Today we're launching a groundbreaking new feature that could not have been possible without the work Thomas Edison, Alan Turing, Tim Berners-Lee, and Marc Andreessen. We call it: All-Time Leaderboard.
The concept is simple: every day product questions are asked and recommendations are given. We're now using advanced machine learning and numerical sorting techniques to surface questions with the most recommendations first. The result is profound in its simplicity.
What we have learned so far:
[202] "What's one app you use a lot, that most people don't know about?" has the most product recommendations of all-time.
[176] People. Love. Chrome Extensions.
[127] Some people would rather die if these apps didn't exist.
[96] Menu bar apps are a direct gateway to our soles.
[95] People actually pay for software on the internet.
The mysterious [numbers] above are outputs from the advanced numerical sorting techniques. ONLY the A.I. truly knows what they mean.

Must-have apps for product managers ⚡️🔮
The job of a Product Manager is to help your team build the right product for your users, and ship it on time. How PMs do that varies in every organization, but the tools of the trade remain the same all around.
• ProductPlan will help you visualize and share the product roadmap
• One Big Thing will keep you focused on the biggest task on hand
• Typeform is a simple way to generate user surveys
• Pinpoint is a helpful tool for marking up screenshots on iOS
• CloudApp lets you annotate screenshots & GIFs from the menubar
P.S. Intercom's hugely popular book on product management is a must.

Quora Video could take on YouTube 🎥👀
“Everything on mobile is being redefined by video. The question is whether older apps get with the times or get left behind.” –Josh Constine
Yesterday, Quora announced an experimental beta of native video support for their app. Authors in the beta group will be able to record videos on mobile from their iOS and Android devices. Video answers will be sorted by how useful they are to the community, and could steal away some How-To video content from YouTube.
With Justin Kan's popular Whale app and other paid-to-answer video apps like YAM and Tumbleweed coming out, the space is heating up. For more product recommendations on any topic, Ask Product Hunt. 😉

Audio-based articles are on the rise 📈🔊
Recently, we've been seeing quite a few new products based around a similar concept: audio-based articles. The latest one, Medium Audio Stories, was just introduced as part of Medium's paid membership offering (and it looks pretty awesome).
Listening to audiobooks has clearly caught on, but is the shorter-form audio-based article format something people want?
You can listen to articles with Pocket Listen, listen to Medium articles (for free), or listen to startup focused Medium articles with this app. Other approaches include human-narration, a reading/listening hybrid, and hiring a TaskRabbit to read your Twitter timeline bedside, every night.
Check out the products community members recommend for listening to articles.

Everything Google launched in I/O 🍭📱🚀
Sundar Pichai kicked off Google I/O 2017 by announcing that as of this week, the number of active Android devices reached 2 Billion. (Android is like the iOS for people outside San Francisco)
The company announced a bunch of innovative new services, like Google Lens, a standalone VR headset for Daydream, and an old-school photo album which everyone in the audience received (really). They also launched a new version of Google Photos with lots of cool new AI based features. The app's 500M monthly active users will be pleased.
The most exciting announcement has to be the new Google Assistant. The marquee feature of the Pixel phone is now available to everybody, including people with iPhone technology. It's like having a Google Home right in your pocket, for free.

Slack just launched Google Hangout's best feature 👀
Say goodbye to Google Hangouts. Slack just rolled out Screen Sharing for Calls! Reaction: :champagne: :partyparrot: :tada:
From Slack Product Manager Chris Luquetta-Fish:
We’re very excited to add Screen Sharing to Calls in Slack so that you can share your screen with your teammates to collaborate and get work done.
Some of you have touched on a similar question: As Slack continues to expand into team collaboration products, what does this mean for developers building on the platform? Will Slack release a competitor to Dropbox? Trello? Intercom?
Check out Chris' response.
