    Use an animated logo for the preview to create an eye-catcher and to easily stand out from the masses. This will help you - while people scroll through the releases - to get a higher chance that the supporters and contributors get stuck at your line item and more likely click on it. There are ton's of free tools out there and services you can use to create such a video (not a gif). Example: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/stimch Ask Lucas Emma from Stimch - he will be probably happy to help about the "how to" :) All tips will be consolidated in a blog to be found here on Medium: https://medium.com/@marcel.sim/99-most-essential-tips-for-a-successful-product-hunt-launch-f447345c8e4e

    animated logos only work when you hover over them though.. do they work on the mobile app?

    Animated logos are definitely a clever tactic to grab attention in a crowded space; I'll be looking into those tools and reaching out to Lucas Emma for guidance. Thanks for the tip, Marcel, and I'm eager to see the consolidated blog post on Medium for more insights!
