Summer is usually such a wonderful time when we leave work as early as possible on Friday, when we take holidays and never touch the sun. If you rank the seasons of the year by working efficiency, then summer would most likely be in last place. But, since we are looking at the approach of autumn with sadness, it is impossible not to think about all those incredible products and applications that have appeared in the past few months.

Below are the 44 most popular projects that appeared on Product Hunt over the summer of 2016, each of which scored more than 1,000 votes. We hope you will find in this list a lot of things that will help you prepare for a creative, productive and exciting “work immersion” season. Enjoy.
