Who hunted Timelapse in Google Earth?
Timelapse in Google Earth was hunted by Chris Messina.

Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
