Great idea, nicely executed. The only thing that's missing is the possibility to login /w PH & upvote from within the widget. (Though I know that is due to the fact you don't have write access to the API. @rrhover & team, this might be one of those apps where you could think about making an exception?) ;) )
I love Product Hunt stories 👍🎉 So here's a story!
Tuesday or Wednesday of last week: @sleinadsanoj recommends that I figure out a way to embed the details from the product I'm interviewing on the Daily Hunt into the WP post. I'm totally on board, but I can't build it myself. @sleinadsanoj says he might be able to help in a couple weeks. Sweet!
Thursday of last week: I have breakfast at S-Bucks with @dylanfeltus and he says he'd be willing to help with the design and maybe the backend of the project. Excellent! Still this is just for the Daily Hunt website.
Monday of THIS WEEK I interview @mubashariqbal on the Daily Hunt (https://dailyhunt.co/interviewed/) then off air we chat about this possible integration between https://dailyhunt.co/ and Product Hunt. He sounds open to the idea, so I connect him with @dylanfeltus, who shares what CSS he has thus far.
A few days later and after a couple iterations (Slack convos) later @mubashariqbal shows up with a web app that allows ANYONE to embed their own PH listing anywhere they want. Then @erictwillis decides to hunt it today!
So here we are and I haven't even had the time to put the embed code on the Daily Hunt site yet. :) Love it! First product (that I'm aware of) to come out of the http://makerhunt.co/ community. Nicely done @mubashariqbal 👏😎
In the words of @sleinadsanoj and Taylor Swift - "Makers gonna make make make make make..." 🎶
Search for the product you want to display. You'll get a simple javascript snippet you can add to your site to show the details of that product's hunt.
@rrhoover@mjmcclain haha. I did think should probably be something that came from Product Hunt itself, but I see the team are very busy doing other amazing things. Figured I'd help plug the gap for a while.
This is a nice addition of Social Proof.
However to serve as adequate social proof, I think this would make (the most) sense to do only if your hunt generated some discussion and/or had a super-large # of votes.
@anujadhiya I also see this as tool for blogger, when they write about product, it would nice to include the information that this widget provides in the article.
@anujadhiya I think it may actually help more in the long run than just vote-hunting day. When we were on, we only got 35 or so votes, but doubled that over the following month. So there is ongoing validation, and having it on your site may engage more hunters over time.
This is actually really useful, I have a 2 x daily newsletter curating US and EU tech news (http://sourcedhq.com) , and one of the sections, is 'What's #1 on Product Hunt" so people can instantly see (and click through to) PH and it's top product the moment they wake up, so this is PERFECT, thanks @mubashariqbal for saving me from screenshots! :)
@neilswmurray If you need something different (perhaps embedding a collection?) I'd love see the offering expand here. Feel free to send a message.
Report
@neilswmurray@mubashariqbal It would definitely be cool if you added the 'embedded collections' option. I have a collection that a lot of our app's users would love checking out. Let me know when you get it implemented.
@neilswmurray@mubashariqbal@quser 100% agree. Embeddable collections could be really neat. Also adding the ability to add a product from this embed to a collection, would be useful.
You have a duplicate when the maker hunted the project http://cl.ly/image/1G47322y3w43
edit: how do you actually embed a photo here in the comments? :)))
