Questions, answered
Will it comment or upvote on Product Hunt?
No. WebRun only reads the leaderboard and the comments. It never upvotes, comments, or posts anything public, and the digest email is left as a Gmail draft for you to send.
How does it decide which launches are in my space?
It matches the topics you follow on Product Hunt plus any keywords you give it, so a launch has to sit in your category or mention your terms to make the digest.
What if nothing relevant launched today?
You get a one-line note saying the day was quiet rather than a padded list, and the running log in Google Drive simply has no new rows for that date.
