Product Hunt iOS App

Neat and interesting timing. This morning I had a dream about a product hunt app for iOS with a tinder-like interface. "Swipe left" to upvote.

Someone actually built that, it's called ProducTind :)

I'm curious: Wouldn't 2 buttons be better than a swipe interface?

Perhaps Tinder needs swipe because there's more downside of an error; but I'd think a Hot and a Not button would be faster and still reliable enough for general product liking.

In my experience, swiping is more engaging.

In our app we have both swipe and buttons. When I show the app to people (in person, I mean) what I usually see is that as soon as they discover swiping, the switch using that.

As I said, it's just a limited and in person experience, I have no data, but I'd be interested if anyone could support/confute my thesis.

[self-promo/feedback req] if you're a fan of swipe left for upvote, I'd be interested in your opinion on Theneeds iphone app. Also, if you don't mind, what do you think about the tooltips to explain the feature?
