Track your Product Hunt launch stats (Rank, Upvotes, Comments) in real-time via CLI.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/abakermi/product-hunt-launchWhat This Skill Does
The Product Hunt Launch skill is a specialized CLI utility designed for makers and founders to monitor the performance of their product launches in real-time. Instead of constantly refreshing the Product Hunt website, you can pull live data directly into your terminal. This tool provides instant visibility into your current rank, total upvote counts, and comment engagement, ensuring you stay responsive to your community as your product gains traction.
Installation
To integrate this skill into your environment, follow these steps:
- Ensure you have the OpenClaw agent installed.
- Run the following command in your terminal:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/abakermi/product-hunt-launch. - Navigate to the Product Hunt API Dashboard to generate your personal Developer Token.
- Set the token in your environment variables:
export PH_API_TOKEN="your_token".
Use Cases
This skill is indispensable for indie hackers, startup founders, and marketing teams during the 24-hour launch window. Use it to keep your team updated in a Slack channel, create automated alerts when your product hits the top 3, or simply keep a clean view of your growth metrics without the distractions of the browser interface. It is particularly useful for those who want to integrate Product Hunt metrics into a broader automated workflow using OpenClaw.
Example Prompts
- "OpenClaw, track my product launch with the slug 'super-app' and tell me my current rank and upvote count."
- "Start monitoring my launch for 'super-app' every 5 minutes and alert me if my rank changes."
- "Show me the current leaderboard for today so I can see what other products are trending against mine."
Tips & Limitations
- Real-time Monitoring: The
monitorcommand is highly effective, but be mindful of API rate limits enforced by Product Hunt if you set your interval too low (e.g., under 30 seconds). - Slug Accuracy: Ensure you use the exact slug used in your product's URL, or the API call will return a 404 error.
- Data Privacy: This tool does not store your authentication tokens locally beyond the environment variable you provide; always ensure your shell history is secured.
- Connectivity: This skill requires an active internet connection to query external Product Hunt servers.
