What time in your time zone does the Product Hunt launch day start?

Question

I live in the Pacific Coast time zone (and some does most my team). I’m thinking a lot about how we should staff those early morning hours. What’s it like for you?

Accepted Answer

I'm in EST, so Product Hunt launches at 12:01am for me. I usually stay up late anyway, so I try to get my hunts posted right when the clock strikes midnight to maximize exposure. Then I'll monitor comments and stats closely for the first hour or two. It's a late night, but the adrenaline keeps me going! ☕💻

For me on the east coast, the Product Hunt launch day starts at midnight. I imagine it must be rough having to stay up late if you're on Pacific time! Maybe have the night owls on your team cover those early hours and the early birds can take over once they wake up. 😅 I'm sure lots of ☕ will be needed either way!

@kacy_boone1 was great to answer comments and follow the launch during the day, and I still got some upvotes and new comments when I woke up the next day ☺️ can't complain!

👋 I'm in Portugal at the moment so PH launch is at 8am, very convenient actually 😄

@odettecelestemontgomery The latest documentation on PH is that the launches start at 12:01am PT not ET. Did that change? https://www.producthunt.com/ques...
