On Monday of this week I jokingly tweeted that I decided to build a "Off-White" inspired camera web app / object classifier using IBM Watson's image recognition software.

Who hunted "CAMERA"?
"CAMERA" was hunted by Lee Martin. 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.
