What it does

PHreak is for Product Hunt addicts who refresh the PH homepage every 5 minutes. This gives you the peace of mind that you won't miss any new hunt. Just run it from your terminal, and the latest top 10 hunts will always be available in your system tray. As new hunts arrive over the day, PHreak will give you desktop notifications about any new hunts, so you don't have to check it again and again.

Features

• Shows latest top 10 hunts
• Refresh at will (5 minutes auto-refresh)
• Automatic GTK Notifications when there are new hunts, so you don't need to keep checking (via libnotify)
• Opens both discussion and product links in your default browser

sudo pip install phreak
