alfred-producthunt-search's Issues

Rename workflow to Product Hunt Search

The workflow is currently called producthunt-search. "Product Hunt Search" would be more aesthetic.

Check current URL from browser to see if it's been hunted

Add support for grabbing URL from current browser (as opposed to just clipboard) to see if it's been hunted.

Error: Cannot find module 'dotenv/config'

When attempting to execute the "hunted" featured, I now get an error:

ERROR: Product Hunt Search[Script Filter] Code 1: node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:936
  throw err;

Node.js v17.3.0

Update icon

This icon looks cleaner.

Add URL validation to previously hunted check

If you enter non-URL text, there is an error. Ideally this could be rejected more softly... i.e. "This doesn't look like a link!"

Something broke...!

Seeing this error when I attempt to execute a search:

Here's the console log:

How to set Product Hunt token as variable?

I have a token set:

So why am I getting this error? How do I correct this?

Add support for OneUpdater

Docs here: https://www.alfredforum.com/topic/9224-oneupdater-%E2%80%94-update-workflows-with-a-single-node/

Suggestion: cache results

Might it make sense to cache results to speed up responsiveness? Maybe expire cache after a month, or add a command to refresh the cache?

[FR] Quick check to see if a URL has been hunted

Would be very useful to quickly submit a URL via this Workflow to check if it's been previously hunted.

Suggested features/design:

• use keyword hunted and then the URL to execute command
• use hotkey to check the clipboard
• post notification with yes/no status ("Looks like this URL hasn't been hunted!" or "This URL has already been hunted for [Product Name]. Click to view hunt")
• normalize URL to its canonical form
