Have you ever had your launch cancelled or delayed?

Hey everyone,

Last year I released my first app and published it to the App Store, and although it took me way longer than planned, I couldn’t be more grateful!

Backstory: I started developing a mental health app about a year ago and I added a coming soon banner to ProductHunt. I was planning on releasing the app in October and September had just started, so it was the perfect amount of time to get some users on the waiting list. However, at the same time I created the banner, I was just enrolling in the developer program and it really took too long. I lost track of time and my product launched here, but I didn't even have it on the App Store yet, so I lost those users in the waiting list, since they opened an almost empty launch.

Luckily, I got to remove the launch and publish it again in early December and got close to the interactions I was expecting initially.

What about you? Have you ever experienced delays or even had to cancel out a launch?
