We'll be launching CollabClub soon and one of the decisions we have to make is which day of the week to launch the product.
Just wondering this:
What day did you launch and why?

We set a launch date 1 month out from our last publish. That ended up being a Monday which I find helpful because we will have a clean week to follow up and push our application. So it was more about readiness than the day of the week for us.

@brian_nutt I like the idea of it being nice and clean and launching on a Monday 😀
We talked to many people before launching on Product Hunt, and it seemed that the two most popular days were Tuesday/Wednesday. I did some digging on twitter to try to figure out who else was launching on those two days and it seemed there was a bunch of companies with larger audiences that were launching on Tuesday so it seemed too competitive. We decided to launch Wednesday and ended up 10th on the leaderboard. Overall, exhausting but incredible experience!

@joannakurylo Thanks for sharing - yeah seems like those two days seem to be the most popular ones - I guess it then depends on how confident one is about getting higher up on the list...

A combination of readiness, planning, and an understanding of productivity rate. You have to balance pedal pushing and braking for "safety" to keep the metaphor going
On our end, we had a debate between marketing and tech: we thought about a Friday launch for people to have the weekend to test the App, but the tech team didn't want any crash to happen on a Saturday or Sunday. So we went for a Wednesday.
We're launching on Wednesday the 20th of April. We chose Wednesday because we were told it's best to launch from Tuesday to Thursday traffic-wise. And Wednesday was the day we could all block our calendars😂. I'm a bit scared of the day we chose, though. I think maybe we should've gone with Monday since the competition might be too much for us.
