Do you think it's a good idea to have a Product Hunt launch for an Open Source project?

why not? :)

yes! many OSS products successfully launched on Product Hunt -- daily.dev (2022 GKA), Cal and Lago (#1 Products of the Month)... to name a few. for the record, you can browse popular open-source products on Product Hunt here. hope it convinces you to launch :)

definitely. since oss thrives from reach and attention by design more eyes on the topic are great for building the community and learning about the domain 🚀👌
