Launching Vault soon: send help, wisdom, and maybe snacks

Product Hunt launch mode has officially begun… which means our team is now 40% excitement, 40% panic, and 20% refreshing things that haven’t even launched yet.

We’re getting ready to launch Vault on Product Hunt soon, and we’d love to borrow the collective brainpower of you all before we hit the big shiny launch button.

After months of building, tweaking, breaking things, fixing them, and pretending coffee counts as a project management tool, Vault is almost ready to meet the world. But we know a Product Hunt launch isn’t just about pressing “Launch” and dramatically staring at the screen.

So we’d love your wisdom on: How do we make launch day less “posting into the void” and more “hey, people actually showed up”? What helps a product get noticed, featured, or talked about? How do you keep engagement going without refreshing the page every 11 seconds?

And most importantly… how do you stay sane during launch week?

For those who’ve launched before: what worked, what flopped, what surprised you, and what would you absolutely never do again?

Drop your best launch advice, battle scars, secret rituals, or “please don’t do this” stories below.

Vault is almost ready. Our nerves are not.
