I will suggest to engage with community and tell them about your tool's benefits.

Hi Ashmil, I am also launching soon. Would you like to follow and support each other?
@sonia_ponzo sure
Congrats on your upcoming launch! A few tips: 1) Launch on a Tuesday or Thursday for more visibility 2) Kick off at 12:01am PST to get a full 24 hrs on the homepage 3) Invest in eye-catching screenshots, graphics & video to communicate your value prop 4) Tap into your network to build early momentum with comments, votes. Best of luck - let us know how it goes!
Have created your product page?
First of all best of luck with the launch! I will suggest to make a tutorial or demo of your open source product and get the feedback. Also engage with PH community.
@sophia_gartner thankyou , yes please check it today
Looking forward to seeing your launch! As we will be launching for the first time ever on Product Hunt by end of this month, I researched some basic information, but other than that it's simply about building a great product.
The basics I researched:
- Tuesdays and Thursdays seem to work good for most companies
- Launching at 12:01 PM (PST) gives your product the chance to circulate on the platform for full 24 hours, which can result in a higher ranking
- Good screenshots and presentation slides that are appealing and communicate the benefits clearly are helping the people to understand your product better
- A short introduction video to your tool is great to hook people on your product page
A really good example is guidde. I found the tool on Product Hunt by coincidence, but it saved me so much time making nice how-to videos.
Best Regards,
Felix
@felix_sattler sure , we are launching tomorrow 12:01
