    Hey Dmytro, here are some tips from my side - Send an email that you're launching on PH a couple of days before - Build community. Support other launches, make new friends and build connections - Share launch updates on social media every 4 hrs (Like how many upvotes you got, what's your rank, and all) - Share about your journey and plug the launch in the relevant communities.

    @karthik_tatikonda hey Karthik, appreciate it! Super valuable insights, and frankly, I think I should have done a bit more with community building.

    Launching on Product Hunt is like hosting a global show where your product gets the spotlight for a day. Here are some last-minute prep secrets and tips: Engagement is Key, Timing is Everything, Craft Your First Comment, Leverage Your Network and Prepare for Feedback. Remember, Product Hunt is not just about the launch day but about building a community around your product. Keep the momentum going post-launch with updates, responses to feedback, or even another feature roll-out planned for a few weeks later.

    @nifal_adam2 Thanks Nifal for your insights! Do you think we can do smth like a second launch of a product with a new feature rolled-out?

    Hello! All the best for the launch. I would suggest be very active when you launch. Engaging with the community can be a game changer in unexpected ways.

    Definitely be super active on launch day engaging with the PH community! Folks here tend to be really supportive and love seeing founders jumping into the discussions. Some other quick tips: make sure your PH page clearly explains your product's key benefits, have a solid onboarding flow ready for the traffic surge, and thank every single person who leaves a comment! 🙌 Best of luck with the launch, you got this! 🚀

    Stay super engaged on launch day! Reply to every comment, answer questions, and share on social media. Have pre-written content ready to go. And do a Show HN post on Hacker News for a big initial traffic boost. Wishing you an epic launch! 🚀

    @oliviajanecarter thanks a lot Olivia! Event though we didn't achieve top page results, I think we were quite successful as for our first launch 🙂 We got lots of feedback and support! Btw, what is HN post on Hacker News? Thanks 🙌

    Definitely stay active on PH and be responsive! Keep an eye out for bugs or issues people report so you can address them ASAP. Make sure your onboarding is 🔥 to convert signups to active users. And add a lil' something special for the PH community to thank them for the support 🙏 You got this! 🚀
