This is what I do on Product Hunt everyday: I'm a really visual person, so instead of reading descriptions and comments, I just directly open the websites of every product to figure out what they do. It's also a great way to get website design inspiration!
That's the inspiration behind VisualPH.com. You can now quickly glance at the landing pages (or gallery images/videos) of all the top products everyday!
I'm always open to comments, suggestions and feedback, so don't hesitate to reach out :)
@chrismessina You got it! I have a little daily automation that fetches the featured products using the PH API, and then uses Puppeteer to generate full page screenshots. The only thing is that the upvote counts / ranking are not real-time because I don't wanna hit whatever the API's rate limits are. So I might have to implement some sort of scheduled hourly update. Something to look into over the next couple days!
Thanks for checking out the product Chris! Lemme know if you have any feedback or suggestions :)
Interesting idea. I find it helpful especially because I do not have to open every single link to find out how the websites look like, what they contain etc. I bookmarked it and saved it into my "Product Hunt products" folder :)
@busmark_w_nika that could be normal on launches... It looks like they're getting more traffic than anticipated. Error 500 on vercel. They will fix it soon, I am sure.
@busmark_w_nika that’s exactly what I do everyday as well haha. Hopefully this solves that problem for you too!
Oh yes, I saw PH Feed last week! @bernatfortet was the one who built it. Loved his implementation of the gallery seeker UI.
Thank you everyone for supporting my first product launch. I really appreciate you guys taking the time to check out the product. Hitting the #3 product of the day was something I never expected. What an exhilarating 24 hours it's been, I could barely sleep!
I got right back to building after voting ended. And I wanted to announce a new feature here first as a sign of my gratitude. I created a new layout that's much more similar to the current Product Hunt layout. A single column stacked layout with the product details on the left and the landing page / gallery design on the right. Enjoy!

@markleehq how did you build this? Were you able to use the Product Hunt API or some other method?
@markleehq oh wait, I see, you're using the Node Product Hunt API. Nice!

BTW, I think one guy also tried something similar, but the project doesn't seem to work anymore. :D
