What’s new on Veck

Some of our users have asked about the source of the signals we show. We're working on displaying whether it's a connection, follow, repost, like, or comment.

For now, we've decided to only show signals based on LinkedIn connections, Twitter follows, and ProductHunt hunts, as these are considered the most valuable by our users.
