Happy Friday Product Hunt! Dave from Playgraph here. I had an itch to scratch over the holidays so I built Our Feels. It’s a social experiment that lets you share and explore all the feelings around you. The idea came to me whilst building another hyperlocal side project. The question I wanted to answer was “could I build a simple app that would let people keep their finger on the pulse of...

Looks like you have a great new design, congrats! Goal-setting can be difficult to get right, can you provide some background for how the app is “empirically proven”?

Simple and fun! Love how it taps into the element of curiosity.

One of the release videos described Firestore as "near real-time". What are the real-time differences between Firestore and the original real-time database?

The email containing the free list download resulted in an error page and a prompt to open in WeChat. Doing so prompted a warning from WeChat that the link was suspicious and has been blocked.

The steps leading up to sending the chain were a bit mysterious and at times I wondered if this would be a disaster resulting in me spamming everyone I know. I'm happy to say I was pleasantly surprised. I like the simple call to actions and I can see how they could promote sharing. I recommend working on the on-boarding process with a focus on transparency so the user knows what will happen...

Looks interesting. In a nutshell, aside from being open source, in which key areas is this differentiated from Firebase?

@bradenream, love the general idea behind the app! How do you reconcile anonymity wth Facebook sign-ins? What techniques are you implementing behind the scenes to ensure anonymity? Also, how do you moderate anonymous content?

I'm pretty stoked about this. The only thing keeping me from fully embracing Ionic was the lack of desktop support. From their news release: "With the new responsive Grid system and Split Panel in Ionic Framework 2.2.0, Ionic developers can now build UIs that scale up from smartphones through tablets and desktop displays. All with one code base."

Big fan of Font Awesome! I thought this hunt was for 5.0 though.

I love the idea of incorporating sentiment analysis into online content creation. Is there a monetization strategy for this plugin? Since it is a free plugin, how will you overcome IBM's data cap for Watson/Bluemix services?

What a great time to be using Firebase. This gives me the feels.

Fun idea, but think of all the people in the airport it may trip up. It will need a pole with a flag so people could see it while rushing to their terminal.

@mazzo: Slick app, especially for just an experiment! For some reason, I was expecting to see events in closer proximity to me, rather than all over the world. Is there a location feature I missed?

Entertaining and immensely informative. This book made me think bigger and deeper about my idea by expanding my focus beyond just building a great and valuable product. Grounded in research, the authors posit that truly great and enduring companies must master product design, company design, and category design. The focus of the book is on category design which was a new concept to me. The idea...

@guillegette I've been "starring" messages to keep track of things I needed to do. This is much, much better. Thanks for developing this!

@tonychen, I love the simplicity of this idea. Was it fairly seamless to set up using banter.me? I'd love to learn how you did that.
