Product Hunt, read like a dashboard
PH Radar turns Product Hunt into a full BI dashboard — KPIs, an Opportunity Radar, momentum against your neighbors, maker responsiveness and more — backed by a live Chrome side panel that snapshots today's race in the background. Free to explore; PRO unlocks the signals that convert.
A live look at the PH Radar side panel — today's race ranked in real time, vote velocity, and breakout alerts.
Beyond today's leaderboard.
The side panel watches the race live. The BI dashboard — a full-screen tab — turns every launch into something you can actually analyze: KPIs, an Opportunity Radar, top categories, and views you build yourself. Free to explore; PRO unlocks the signals that convert.
Running on real data — and growing.
PH Radar runs on a live, growing Product Hunt dataset — and counting, every day.
Right now you can already:
It compounds: every week, deeper trends unlock — launch difficulty over time, best day to launch, and more.
Build the view you need.
Add a visual, switch it from bar to pie to combo, swap the source, dimension, measure and aggregation — all live, no query language. Free explores every chart type; PRO saves dashboards and turns a card into a reusable template.
The signals that matter.
Momentum, Maker responsiveness and Long Tail — three views makers actually act on, free to explore.
The race, in your timezone.
Product Hunt resets on its own clock. PH Radar shows the whole window in your local time — when the day starts, when votes get revealed, and exactly how long is left — and lets you replay any past day.
Scrub back to any past day and watch the top ranks shuffle from morning to midnight.
Explore free. Convert with PRO.
Seeing and exploring the intelligence is always free. PRO is for building, saving, comparing, alerting, exporting and automating — and it's one activation that unlocks every NODUS app.
PH Radar's BI runs on a NODUS PRO license — and the same single subscription unlocks NODUS AI and Workspace too. One activation, every NODUS extension.

- Needs a free Product Hunt Developer Token (one-time, ~2 min) — read-only.
- Respects a daily API budget — it never hammers Product Hunt.
- Local-first: your favorites, snapshots and settings stay on your device.
- Some views mature over time (Launch Difficulty trend, best day and hour) as the dataset grows.
NODUS PRO ≠ Community Spotlight: Spotlight promotes your launch; PRO unlocks the BI. And one PRO subscription works across every NODUS extension.
Open the side panel. See everything.
PH Radar runs silently. Snapshots the daily race in the background, tracks the hunters you pin, and alerts you when products cross watch rules you set.
Install the extension
Add NODUS PH Radar to Chrome. Free, no account. Just paste a Product Hunt Developer Token once.
Open the side panel
See today's race ranked live. Pin products. Pin hunters. Set watch rules with custom thresholds.
Get alerts that matter
When a product crosses your rule (votes, velocity, rank), the bell lights up. Built for makers who want to know when something is breaking out.
Everything you need to read the Product Hunt daily race
Daily Race
Live ranking of today's launches. Snapshot loop with 3 cadence profiles (eco/standard/hi-fi) to balance freshness vs API quota.
Velocity
Votes per hour computed between snapshots. Catches products accelerating before they hit the top.
Watch Rules
Define conditions (votes, comments, velocity, rank). When a product matches all, the bell fires. Each rule is independent.
Hunters Tab
Track publishers you care about. Pin favorite hunters, get notes per hunter, see all launches grouped by who hunted them.
Launch Calendar
Upcoming launches submitted by makers via Spotlight. See who's launching tomorrow, next week. Curated by the NODUS community.
16 Languages
Native interface in 16 languages. Auto-translate taglines and comments via Chrome's offline translator. No data leaves your machine.
Everything in one side panel
PH Radar lives right next to Product Hunt — the daily race, the calendar, hunters, and your watch rules, all without leaving the page.
Put your launch in front of every PH Radar user
Each time someone opens the side panel, a curated product is shown in the Spotlight slot — before the race even loads. Higher tiers run longer and more often; Gold even gives a second product slot for Launch Week.
