A rather unpretentious clone 
, I like!
Of course it takes more than a website with upvote buttons to replicate what Ryan Hoover did with PH. But unlike those websites that would be Facebook for Africa, Afrihunt is at least not a broken copy, it works.
See! I knew you should have called it AfriCrunch instead of TechCabal!
Hahaha, toucheĀ“.
@lordbanks Ha! Where was this last week when I thought we needed one for nigeria / africa focused startups?? Could have saved me sometime this weekend. In any case, I also setup a similar clone based on the wordpress script (clone to be released, i need to decide if still neededā¦) Might continue it just for my personal consumption.
It was simple enough and rather tempting; see below reference sites for scripts to use without re-creating the wheel.

The key is focusing on topics that would be of interest to the target audience.
Let the Product Hunt Africa Clone wars begin! May the force be with you
Hahaha, let me see!
Donāt laugh too hard at the nameā¦here it is http://agegelist.com/
Not too late to rebrand, is it? 
Loving the site already. Does what itās meant to do simply! Reminds me of the early Twitter.
Author of @afrihunt here ā¦ love what you guys are building.
Itās so similar! ā¦ howād you do it?
@remi so, is the idea for people to get on the platform, vote and talk about to the startups?
How do you get people on the platform?
@kelonye glad to have you here on radar. Re: agegelist - ended up using a wordpress theme by EPIC to do it. There were a few bugs which I had to fix āon the flyā to make it work effectively. I also forgot how much fun wordpress can be. I really like the simplicity and design of your platform. Looks like you built it from scratch.

@Lamidi_b_a I originally built it for my personal use to track startups in Nigeria (and ultimately Africa). I found that there were a lot of startups and no real way to keep track. Whilst radar, techcabal and the likes are helpful with coverage, sometimes I just wanted to see a quick list of startups (e.g. travel or education startups). I shared the site here because I figured others might find it useful and potentially contribute. I havenāt done much marketing to attract users to the platform however I do get a couple of emails a week from new startups wanting to be featured on the site.
Signed up with Agege List asap! Lol. Mainly because you were able to do it quickly. Nice one man! Super impressed.
Just out of curiosity, how long did it take you to do this? I might need to hire your services tbh lol.
