Whaat? Woooo this is awesome! How does it work though? Cookies?

This might get the award for the most simple product of all Product Hunt time.

@rrhoover ProductHunt awards!! That should absolutely be a thing. Please make that a thing.

The awards could come with badges of honor. And with very little code, the badges could show on the product page, the profile page of the user who submitted it, and an "all awards" page.

@staringispolite haha, the gaming side of you is coming out. I think there are a ton of interesting opportunities here with more data and structure/categorization.

(Looks like it uses Browsers' LocalStorage)

Yes it is :) But I think it makes sense in this case, as there's a kind of social caché associated already, with hunting the best products. Rewarding that existing behavior (and perhaps even guiding it with certain category awards) makes sense to me more than badges would for a different site. I also think the "awards" idea adds a higher level of guidance that's not time-sensitive. Replace products with movies, and ProductHunt is similar to the box office leaderboards. But when the Oscars nominations come out, you can suddenly browse in a very different way. Agreed on structure/categorization representing many different opportunities.
