What has been your craziest experience during product launches?

I'll go first,
During the launch of @Bitgrain , I thought maybe some 10 20 people might upvote or it can be even lesser, Surprisingly it got featured and the numbers went up crazy! I got mails from people who loved the product. It was unexpected but loved it!
btw do see @Bitgrain : )

Launching PopBoost on PH today — literally right now. Built it solo, 7 conversion widgets in one Shopify app. My craziest moment was deploying a fix to the social proof popup at 11:58 PM the night before launch because I caught a bug in the recent purchases feed. Shipped it with 90 seconds to spare. Still not sure if I feel proud or horrified.
Ours was the opposite direction tbh. We'd been grinding on the product for months and expected at least some traction on launch day. Complete silence for the first 6 hours. Then a single comment from someone who actually worked in the exact use case we built for, and suddenly people started showing up.
That whole experience kind of broke my mental model of "you get out what you put in" with launches. Sometimes the right one person noticing matters more than everything else combined.
