Hi there!
There are many insightful people on PH, who you want to read content from, disregarding which product this is about. Sadly, you will miss those insights most of the time because you just don't look at every single product detail page.
Friend Hunt was made to allow you to receive (deactivable) desktop notifications when those people comment, and list your recent notifications in the extension. You're now sure you won't miss the latest insights about product design. Or you may just be warned when your friends join a discussion in order to chat with them :)
Hope you will find it useful!
@bentossell Actually, this is something I had in mind after PH team asked us for feedback on MakerHunt :) Figured I will make it as an experiment, I can provide usage rates in a while if you want to figure out if it's worth building as a core feature ;)
@bentossell@rrhoover@jsneedles Ok, I figured a way to add a follow button on each user in the user lists page (followers / followings).
It will require a server side app restart, so I'll wait tomorrow to do it, when there will be less traffic (plus, the extension update needs time to propagate anyway).
Very nice, the social interaction between people you follow is definitely something that is lacking right now in PH, but they're working on it with the new home page etc etc.
@david_diam we're working on social annotations -- showing which of your friends have upvoted or commented on something on the homepage -- in addition to curating content through your social connections. Perhaps we'll add an "upvote by your friends recently" section on the site. 😊
