I don't see how a Mac client is going to be a better experience for users than the web version but I'm happy to see you prove me wrong.
My worry for you is that anything you do with Hunt X that leads to something that significantly improves upon @producthunt would likely be duplicated by @producthunt at some point in the future.
What are your primary use cases for this? Simplicity? - doesn't seem like @producthunt is all that difficult via the web.

@joshkerr it's great that Hunt X grabbed your attention. I agree with the points you mentioned. Hunt X is currently an experiment/ side project, born out of Weekend hack. Frankly we yet not figured how sustainable it is in long run!
I foresee, @producthunt would be more than discovery platform. May be curated list for startup founders that don't suck.
Minimal & distraction free, is my personal use case. Web browser is too distracting.
p.s - we are mobile development studio, this gig may land us some high quality connects.

@desaiguddu if your web browser is too distracting why don't you try to fix that problem for everyone across all apps? Go after the bigger opportunity.
There is no question that building things and releasing them will attract attention and possibly new gigs for your development studio. Plus you learn a lot about technology and more importantly spot new opportunities.
