Well done, @hhua_, and props for open sourcing it. 👏
We've received tons of requests to build an Android app but we've focused most of our efforts on the web product and more recently the iOS app. As eager as I am to create an awesome Android experience, it's important for us to focus.
Are you planning to make any updates after this and if so, please share deets!
@rrhoover Thanks so much, Ryan!
I definitely understand the priority for Product Hunt, and I do like the experience on the new PH iOS app, especially the "Popular" tab and podcast-playing feature. I used PH iOS app a lot to listen to Podcast.
I will for sure keep working on the app, and I would also love to see other people join me on the effort. My next big focus will be bringing PH iOS experience to this Android app. Moreover, another big thing will be podcast-playing feature I feel everybody would be craving for.
I keep all the ideas and feedback here. https://github.com/hhua/product-...
Hope everybody loves it!
@rrhoover I'm really curious about this "focus" bit. It's a phrase TONS of app developers use, but I don't want to hijack this thread for that discussion. Maybe a quick blog about it?
@mattahorton the TL;DR version: if you try and do everything at once, you probably won't do a great job at any one thing. Of course, that's not a universal truth and there's not "right way to start up" but that's the strategy we're pursuing.
Really PH team, give this guy full write access to the API without limit...he has done an excellent job and open sourced it.... what else do you want? he is working just for free to learn! ;) KUDOS! here my upvote ;)
It is an open-source effort to build a Product Hunt Android app. I really wish to have the same PH experience with those iOS guys. Would you like it? Visit us on http://hhua.github.io/product-hu... #producthunt @rrhoover@bentossell
Curious what you think of adding small preview images to the list view. It's one reason I don't use the existing Android PH apps. Hunter2 does it, but they're almost too big.
@mattahorton That is a good question! I personally like preview images. On desktop it won't be a problem. On mobile it is a tradeoff. I do feel big preview images actually make me browse fewer hunts. I am thinking maybe a switch between image view and list view can be better.
@hhua_@mattahorton Yeah. I'm with you on the trade off. I spent a while yesterday thinking about how it'd fit into this particular app. I was thinking something like the way Feedly handles image previews.
Thank you! This will greatly improve my consumption/participation.

This is excellent, was also looking for a good Android client for PH. I will try to contribute as well considering you open sourced this (which is fantastic!). Also, is that a Takei h/t with the 'Oh My' name? :)
@sarthakgrover Thank you so much! I am really glad you are interested in contributing to the project. There is not much meaning in the name. Kinda borrowed from "Oh My Zsh" http://ohmyz.sh/. A little funny and humorous.
