The problem it solves

Manually checking Product Hunt every day for new launches, whether for market research or competitor tracking, is easy to forget and hard to keep consistent over time.

Who it fits

Market researchers, product managers, or founders tracking new product launches.

How it works

  1. Every day, the system checks Product Hunt for that day's launches
  2. It pulls each product's name, link, and vote count
  3. New entries are added to your Google Sheet automatically
What you get

Daily record of new product launches

You get a running log of that day's Product Hunt launches, complete with vote counts, added automatically to your sheet.

What you get

A daily-updated spreadsheet log of Product Hunt launches.

What you need

A Product Hunt developer account and a Google Sheets account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
