Hello Product Hunters! Our dev team at Codementor made this side project over Christmas analyzing the most popular & fastest growing product categories of Product Hunt in 2015. We're really curious about what have become popular and if there are any interesting trends in 2015. Video & photo apps have remained popular in 2015, while Apple Watch & Slack apps have arrived at the scene with the biggest growth. Please check it out - would love your feedback!

Buffer crushed it in the social media!

Sure! It's not hard to maintain it.
Hey Love this tool! How did you organize each category? Did you have to manually select the companies for each category?

We used the Rapid Automatic Keyword Extraction (RAKE) algorithm to extract keywords from posts name and tagline. And then filtered keywords manually. (For example, "app", "time", "world", "best", and etc were ignored.)
Love the way your represent the data, how do you pick the color palette for your bar charts?

Thanks! I used this tool for color picking (randomly):

I simply combined some palettes together :p
