There are things that are not in your control and stressing about it wouldn't do anything :)

Launching soon!
Always engage with the community early and genuinely, building relationships beforehand makes all the difference on launch day.
One of the most valuable lessons from a Product Hunt launch is that genuine value creation trumps everything else. Rather than focusing on rapid, superficial development just to get a product out there, it's crucial to invest time and effort into creating something truly useful and meaningful for users. When you have a product that genuinely solves a problem or fulfills a need, it resonates more with the audience.
Moreover, instead of merely asking for upvotes or trying to game the system, sharing your product with authenticity and passion is key. When you genuinely believe in the value your product brings, it shows in how you introduce and communicate it to others. This authenticity not only helps in building trust but also fosters a stronger connection with the community.
Ultimately, the market will recognize and appreciate good products. While the initial launch on Product Hunt can give you a boost, the long-term success of your product depends on its quality and the real value it provides to users.
The most valuable lesson is to listen to feedback. Product Hunt is a great place to hear what people really think about your product.

Two big lessons for me: 1) Get your messaging and positioning nailed down - the PH community will give quick, honest feedback if it's not resonating. 2) Engage like crazy in the comments! Respond to every question, piece of feedback, and mention. The algorithm rewards engagement and it builds great connections with early users and fans of your product.
Big lessons to me: The product itself and the way I prepare for launching. Totally an amateur
Focus on community engagement by building genuine relationships with users and responding to feedback. This can turn your launch into a lasting success.
