Remove a Product Hunt launch upvote
Withdraw the signed-in account's upvote from a Product Hunt launch. This is the inverse of upvoting one, and it is written the same careful way: because Product Hunt's vote control is a toggle, the script first checks whether an upvote actually exists and does nothing if it does not, instead of pressing the control and accidentally adding one. The result reports the account used, whether there was no vote to remove, the score afterwards, and confirmation read back from Product Hunt's own response rather than from the button. Accepts a full launch URL or a "product/launch" slug pair.
Upvote a Product Hunt launch
Upvote a launch on Product Hunt as the signed-in account. Product Hunt's vote control is a toggle, so this script checks whether the account has already upvoted the launch and leaves it alone if so, rather than pressing the control and silently removing an existing vote. The result reports the account that voted, whether the vote was already there, the launch's score afterwards, and confirmation read back from Product Hunt's own response rather than from the button. Accepts a full launch URL or a "product/launch" slug pair. Pair it with the remove-upvote script to undo. Note that Product Hunt votes on a launch, not on a product as a whole: a product with several launches is upvoted one launch at a time.
Get Product Hunt launch comments
Read the comment thread on a Product Hunt launch. Returns each comment with its author (name, handle, profile id and the product they are credited to), the text, its upvote count, when it was posted, whether it is pinned, and how deeply it is nested so replies stay attached to what they answer. Accepts a full launch URL or a "product/launch" slug pair. Product Hunt's headline comment tally on a launch counts more items than the thread actually renders, so both numbers are returned side by side rather than presenting the visible ones as the complete set. An unknown launch is reported as such.
