What if you combine the calendar of life and ProductHunt?

Question

For a long time I wanted to figure out how to make an interesting interface through the Product Hunt API.

We recently launched the Storycell Life Calendar and Ryan Hoover himself noticed and appreciated it.
Yesterday I got the idea to combine Product Hunt and life calendar, that's what I have for today https://productcell.vercel.app/

There is no adaptive for small screens yet, but you can look at the idea on a laptop / computer.

Now there is a limit of 50-100 requests for 15 minutes, so at some point cells may stop opening. I hope the ProductHunt team will let me remove the limit :)

What do you think, what else would you like to see in the interface? 🙂

This is really cool! love the layout.

1. Add filters base on the data from the API, so i can see what is launching when base on my interest

2. When you click on a tile, open a larger tile and display more information about the project.

3. Link to the person who post the projects, allow you to follow them, check them out on social ect.

4. Display analytics, number of launches this month, drill down by category

5. have a section for beta testers so i can see who needs a beta tester to join their program

this is just a few i though of in the last few minutes

Does this help?

@heynigee I'll write to you about brainstorming as soon as I don't have API rate limit. There's no much reason to develop it further before that :(

@heynigee larger tile with more info sounds good, I think I can display the competitors on this day too (like top 2 and top 3), and give links to them 🙂

Analytics sounds cool, but it would be hard to keep the design clean, maybe move them to the other page.

Now I link to product's launch Page, but yeah, direct links to creators' social would be faster way to get to know them. I will display it on a larger tile.

Many thanks to you, this is helpful! I wrote an email to ProductHunt about API rate limit. There isn't much to do before they answer me, I hope they remove limit if they're interested 🙂

@heynigee Hey, the limit is highly increased :) I've already added larger tile with more information when you click again on the cell, I think I'll try to add filters now

Sergey Potikhanov · Answer

@heynigee btw, by filters you mean filter them by tags? Like now there's the Product of the Day in each tile, but it will be possible to get the Product of the Day in "free" category, or "AI" category for example. Sounds nice too

@new_user__29920227ddde191323f50db exactly, the product hunt tags is a good way to filter.

These are just ideas and food for thought, could help you brain storm,
