I decided to make Huntr because I am a huge fan of Product Hunt and love checking out the trending items for the day. Having access to PH in my menu bar makes it that much easier to keep up with the days products. I'm an iOS Developer and this was my first Mac app. It was super fun to build and I can't wait to get feedback on it for version 2.0.
ps. I submitted it to the Mac App Store so it will be available there hopefully within the next week.
@patrickleeadams Do you have a way to send out a notification when you release v2.0? I'd really love to be able to upvote in this!
@rrhoover it would be cool to be able to get notifications on Product Hunt if an app you upvoted released a new version.
@rrhoover@rjun07a yea, that was my biggest concern with not waiting for Apple to approve it in the Mac Store, there is no way for people to know about updates. I did add a "check for updates" menu option which takes you to the website which will have information on whether the app was updated or not. The other way is that I can let you know once it's available in the Mac App Store and you can download it from there.
@danruswick Hmm, maybe giving write access would be something they could sell.

Maybe. We will have to see how things stand once commenting opens up to the public. There might not be enough demand to make paid API access valuable. I think they might go the route of selling advanced data on startups/funds. Sort of like Pricenomics: consumer-facing content service linked to a data-product for businesses.
Hey guys, version 1.1 is now available. Still awaiting Mac App Store approval but for the time being you can download it at http://huntr.us. Let me know what you guys think!

Nicely done! Would really love to see the possibility to login and upvote posts though.
