Do you take summer off, or do you keep working?

July and August are approaching. The months when pretty much everyone in Europe takes time off. So I'm curious how other founders here handle it.

A lot of founders end up taking their break during this window simply because it's when their kids are out of school and their partner's schedule lines up too. On top of that, many B2B companies see slower activity during these months anyway, so it makes sense to step back when there's naturally less happening.

We tracked 500 Product Hunt launches. Here is what the top 10% did differently.

I spent the last two months analyzing Product Hunt launches.
Not the upvotes. The patterns behind them.

Here is what the data says.

The first hour is not the most important hour.

The top 10% did not have more upvotes in the first hour. They had more comments in the first hour. Comments signal engagement. Upvotes signal approval. Engagement carries more weight.
