I have been away since it turned 12am getting poeple to upvote my goal was to get #1 but failed so bad. I spent the last week prepping for this, and to get some initial momentum, I asked my existing community (outside of PH) to support us. Over 50 people have messaged me saying they upvoted

... launched a product just the other day and several people have told me they've upvoted it, but those upvotes

... here with lots of upvotes and launch engagement, but no reviews in the App Store, which surprised me a bit. My app is B2C in a very competitive space, and I am definitely learning the importance of marketing and positioning, but also wondering about how should a PH launch be weighed in my case. I know one of the key valuable pieces is getting early feedback, but just trying to understand how it affects B2B vs

... launch page can look polished, but the real signal is whether makers answer specific questions thoughtfully. It turns a launch from a broadcast into a conversation.

... option) Comment from Robin Peter M ller(@robincostmyai): Hi Nika, Thank you, I was kinda waiting for that one. The products I interacted with but forgot about one is the real gap for me. You upvote something, genuinely mean to come back to it and it just disappears into the feed. A simple nudge a week later would change how useful PH actually is as a discovery tool rather than just a daily scroll. Scheduling posts for launches would be huge ... ... Right now you re either setting an alarm for 12:01am PST or accepting you re not optimising your window. The one I d add: proper engagement stats for makers. Right now you get upvotes

... been five days since we launched Jootle on Product Hunt, and I wanted to take a minute to say something I have been meaning to say all week. Thank you. You showed up. You upvoted. You commented. You asked real questions. You pointed at edges I had not noticed. You introduced me to people I would not have met any other way. Some of the most useful product feedback I have received since I started building this came from this ... ... comparison question at all is the kind of signal a solo founder remembers. Watching the "notable voters" list fill in with people who are themselves building real things ( Scade.pro , Raycast, others). The launch reaching working builders, not just casual upvoters

... votes is definitely assuring! Comment from Andrew McCarron(@koalr): That email you listed doesn't seem to be working. I tried to send a report about someone who reached out to me for my launch today to sell upvotes and named and linked a few of his linkedin posts showing examples of others he had worked with. Named names. 1 was actually a product of the day on their day. I didn't check the others but anyway wanted ... ... details. Comment from Swapnil Jain(@jainswapnil14): The assumption that new accounts are bad actors and existing active accounts are not is not really true. Post my launch, I was contacted by a college student on LinkedIn offering: Around 25+ Upvotes

... recently saw a marketer with 10k+ followers launch and finish 6th with 348 upvotes. They followed a proper pre-launch and post-launch plan, did everything right, and still the outcome felt unpredictable. Now I m launching @Curatora next week. I m not a marketer.
