Who hunted Vibe Buddy?
Vibe Buddy was hunted by Volodymyr Pytsiuk (Vova).

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.
