Integration
Show your Product Hunt followers on your desktop
Add Product Hunt to Orbl and keep your follower count on your macOS wallpaper. A local, read-only, private widget that updates without a browser tab open.
On a launch day, your Product Hunt follower count is the number you keep checking — Orbl puts it on your wallpaper so you can stop refreshing and start watching.
Orbl turns your macOS desktop into a calm, living dashboard. Connect Product Hunt and your follower count sits quietly behind your windows, updating on its own. One glance tells you where things stand, with no tab to babysit.
What Orbl shows
With the Product Hunt integration connected, Orbl can display:
- Your follower count
It's a single, focused widget. Choose a size — small, medium, or large — and set it to always-on, reveal-only, or off. Make it large for a launch, then shrink it to a quiet corner once the day winds down.
How to connect Product Hunt to Orbl
- Open Settings → Integrations in Orbl.
- Select Product Hunt and enter your username. Orbl reads your public follower count — nothing else.
- Drop the follower widget onto your wallpaper and choose its size and visibility.
That's it. Orbl only needs your username to read a public stat, so there's nothing to authorize and nothing to manage.
Private by design
Orbl is 100% local. Your read-only username lives in the macOS Keychain, and your follower count is fetched directly from your Mac to Product Hunt — there is no Orbl server in between, and nothing is collected or stored remotely. You can read the full story on our privacy page.
Your count stays between you and Product Hunt. Orbl is simply the calm place it appears.
Pairs well with
Launches rarely live on one platform. Pair Product Hunt with Reddit for karma and followers, or Bluesky for followers, following, and posts, and keep launch-day momentum visible in one place. Explore the rest on the integrations page.
