Who hunted Discord Social SDK?
Discord Social SDK was hunted by Chris Messina. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.

This is big — possibly the equivalent of Facebook launching Connect to enable social apps in 2008!
Even more profound — developers can build with this SDK without requiring their users to have Discord accounts.
The timing makes sense given GDC coming up too.
