My ideal Steemhunt post. What I would like to see.
The heart of the hunter coming through.

The hunter has sincerely sought out a cool, cutting tech product; not, just a product that passes the posting guidelines.
* Honouring the community:
Taking the pains to present the hunt well.

Posting cool products. The requirements.
• Sincerely search for cool products:
Are they really new?
Is it a tech product?
What is cutting edge about it?
• Will the community benefit by the hunt?
What use cases?
Who will benefit?
Getting your Hunt approved
Read & read again the posting guidelines!
I was merrily on my way posting, getting hunts delisted, testing the patience of moderators, without even perusing the posting guidelines!
Here are a few pointers:
• Product name:
Official product name, same as the product page.
No trademark or copyright symbols.
• Short description:
No product names; no non-product-specific.
Describe exactly what the product is about.
Sometimes found as a tagline below the product name.
• Product link: Official manufacturer or developer URLs.
No e-commerce store links
AppStore, PlayStore, Github, Bitbucket, Kickstarter, Indiegogo, active status crowfunding links are permitted.
No referral links
Check that the link is working after publishing.

In your own words.
No copy paste.
Quote, if you need to copy.
