This is super cool. 😀
@thomasmeagher - A lot of this data are vanity metrics, to be honest. Although we do want to have more registered users, many people use Product Hunt for months without logging in. The majority of people are silent consumers and derive a lot of value from Product Hunt. What's more important is that we're helping people discover useful or interesting products that people want to use, buy, and share.
A proxy for this is outbound (repeated) traffic. We now drive well over 3.5M visits to products every month. I'll do a fist pump when we reach 10M... soon.
@rrhoover The hunt's domain? I would use it to track how startups did over time... The domain is unique, so that I thought about checking angel.co or crunchbase for investment filings, jobs, press etc so that you can come up with s/th like "product featured on PH got this investment on average"... Just a bit like a first attempt with "Product Hunt and BetaList" on metahunt.co/stats . Ok, that are statistics, again ;-)
Hi Sebastian,
Nice one!
I'm toying with collections api currently, I think you could add this as long term engagement measurement (for registered users): in how many collections a product has been added?
While it does not measure if users will look at the product ever again, it certainly is more efficient to denote an engagement than a simple upvote (they are, at least, thinking about looking at it again).
The relevant api entry point for this is that one: https://api.producthunt.com/v1/d...
