How does the "upcoming launch" on ProductHunt work?

Hi, I can see that you can add your product to the upcoming launches. Anyone has more information about how it works and what are the benefits?

You basically schedule your product for launch on a specific day. The benefits it provides are drumming up support for your product so it gets more of a boost on launch day. It can help it climb the leaderboard.
The negatives are that if you have any large delays, it will be a big letdown since you can't delay your product by more than a couple days. You can make it earlier by more than a couple days either, so if you end up releasing really early, then you won't be able to change that either.

You can also gather beta testers through Product Hunt if you want to iron out any kinks before going mass. Personally, we are interested in that.
