Whats the best day to submit a product on PH

There are a few guides floating around that recommend to launch on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday because these days see more organic traffic (less traffic around weekends). That said: it feels like quite a few makers base their decisions on these guides which makes the 3 days even more competitive than other days. Also from an organizational point of view startups and corporates tend to launch things during workdays: If you are an indie maker launching on a weekend or a holiday might actually be to your advantage (then again: some holidays are popular for launches so it is complicated …). That said 2: It is difficult to predict who else will launch on a given day so I would not worry too much about it and mainly focus on your own schedule and make sure the day fits into your own timeline.

It really depends on what your goals are. Weekends are the best if you really want the product of the day (less competition) but if you want views/signups, the best days will be the ones with the most traffic (Tues, Wed, Thurs). I hope this helps!

Mid-week = more upvotes/competitive. better chances at product of the week ends of the week= less upvotes but better chance at product of the day :)

I agree with the other comments. Pick a weekday and get a hunter if you don't have a significant network on PH.

Not sure if it will be helpful, but did some research on Hacker News to answer the same question - https://www.arnica.io/blog/hacki...

Nice remarks, everyone! We're still working on our product and we are planning to launch at the start of May. We recently launched our upcoming PH page, I think it's really important to do that before launching the product. Check our upcoming PH page out: www.producthunt.com/upcoming/eff... Our project is called: Effecto. It’s an app for detailed health tracking. Pretty much for everything that is related to your physical or mental health and every daily factor that can affect you.

Avoid weekends. It tends to get buried. Weekdays like Monday and Tuesday have the most visibility.

I understand Hunters help add credibility to founding teams that lack the social presence to back them, a way of co-opting someones following for your own uses for the launch. Interesting about the difference between weekdays and weekends, not sure where my product falls on "competitiveness" but we will sure see nonetheless

We chose Friday (https://www.producthunt.com/upco...) because we heard Mon-Thurs are generally when bigger products launch and it can be tough to get visibility. After speaking to a few people who launched on PH it came down to Friday or Saturday for us. We wanted more weekend visibility time so Friday it is!
