From what I am seeing across communities, here is what the tool stack looks like right now.

The Core Stack

Email & Capture: Mailchimp for launch updates and email sequences . Carrd for quick, clean launch-specific landing pages . Pre-launch tools like LaunchBuddy and Prefundia to build a waitlist and gather early feedback before you even hit the Product Hunt button .

Social & Scheduling: Buffer or Hootsuite to keep a consistent presence across X, LinkedIn, and Threads without it taking over your entire day . Canva for generating graphics that do not look like you threw them together in five minutes .

In your own recent experience, what are the top 1-3 things people should keep in mind for a Product Hunt launch. I am making this post hoping the comments and discussions cut through the "noise" of what's important.

It seems like the Product Hunt platform is changing and there are new special launch days like Alpha Day, to be aware of. It would be awesome to get fresh perspectives on what works well right now for planning and executing a successful launch.

AI has undoubtedly made our work easier and faster.

An article that would have taken me several days before (defining the topic, doing research, interviewing experts for unique insights, validating data, and writing the final piece) can now be turned into a solid article in under two hours. (in my case, when I publish a weekly newsletter)
