I'm so happy to post this :) For the last couple of months we worked really hard to release new version of Product Hunt's iOS app. Here as some of the most notable features: * Follow other product-loving friends * Curate collections of products * Search for products, collections, and people * Hunt products on the go * Discover related products * Download apps within the Product Hunt app
congrats! Been waiting a while for this! No upvoting comments?
Great job.
Great work! I've been using PH daily exclusively on my phone for months now. This is a major improvement! I've always known the desktop experience is better, but the phone is where I browse. The desktop is where you get shit done.
We didn't wanted to clutter the comments UI too much. They will come in a later version, but we need to find a good UI for them first.
Great work, team. I've been eager to share this. Please let us know what you think and what you'd like to see in the next release (before you ask for it, push notifications are coming soon!). P.S. The App Store is taking a while to propagate the update so if you have trouble downloading, please try again in an hour. P.P.S. first person to discover the easter egg gets infinite 🙌's from me.
did anyone find that Easter egg or was it just me?
I'm still looking!
you were the first, Jack! 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Tweeted you a screenshot of a potential easter egg and/or your true feelings for me.
It's like a mini-game within the app. Nice.
Android version coming soon?
we've had a lot of demand for an Android version but we've been very focused on building a great web and iOS experience first and learning what works (and what doesn't) before expanding to another platform. We don't have any immediate plans to work on Android but I promise, it will come! In the meantime, I hope our mobile web app is a decent alternative.
yeah looking forward to the android version, but right move to first "finish" for one platform and then move to the other.
I made a PH client for Android a while back. You can find it on Google Play here:
Pretty slick, are you guys using the Spring animation framework?
yes, it's be awesome to see what third party tools/libraries they used.
totally! Maybe a collection of products used to build the app?
Hey Raul, the animations are done with native iOS code - keyframes, spring with damping, CA emitters etc. No external libraries / frameworks. It would actually be better if it was all done consistently with a proper animation library, and proper attention to timing, easing etc... Next time!
maybe this is the old man in me coming out, but back in my day, our apps weren't so excessively animated ;) I like when animation shows the relationship between two things, but feel like a lot of the sliding in and bouncing of elements in the PH app don't add much value. Might just be my personal preference though. (if you did want to go all in on animations through, I love this demo from the Campus Quad app...hints at what a hyper-animated app future might look like)
Great job on those animations! Looks slick!
I have to ask: Swift, Obj-C, or both?
Getting "This item is no longer available." in app store after I click Update...anyone else?
same here :(
I got the same. Just delete the app and then download from the App Store again.
yep, figured. thanks
Wait a second...are there no push notifications for replies in PH 2.0?
not yet! Coming soon. What other types of notifications would you like to see?
the basics I suppose. When someone comments, replies to your comment, perhaps when you're added as a Maker of a product, and if your post hits certain milestones (50 upvotes, 100 upvotes).
Strange how when I posted Lowdown v2.0 it was not allowed and PH 2.0 is. hmmmmmm
we've received several complaints from people in the community flagging new product updates that aren't major updates. If every product update was posted on Product Hunt, 90% of the posts would be existing products. Yes, some updates are allowed if significant and we're working on ways for the community to define this subjective definition.
Looks awesome! Any chance of an iPad app sometime in the future?
it is in our backlog. But before tackling iPad, there still some rough edges on the iPhone app. We are already working on iOS 2.1 :)
sweet, look forward to it!
Awesome! I love how clean and simple the Product Hunt app is. This is the mindset I have going forward with all apps I make.
