This is an an analytics platform based on Product Hunt to let makers know the optimum time to launch their product to receive maximum traction based on data.
WhenToLaunch helps you determine the optimum date to launch your product on Product Hunt.
This app is the outcome of a simple script that I built to analyze the trend of products and upvotes on Product Hunt using the ProductHunt API. I also wanted to track when users are most active on upvoting so that I could schedule the launch better. This will also help you track the trending topics on product hunt and collections and do a competitor analysis based on the reach of each product.
After building and using the script for a few days, I noticed that there are optimal times when a product should be launched to maximize views/upvotes. My gut told me that the best way to figure out when to launch my product was based on analyzing data, and I was proven right.
I shared my findings with a few of my fellow makers and asked if they also struggled to figure out when to launch their products. And guess what, they did. So I decided to publish this as an app, to make it easy for anyone to use this tool.
This is a very modest start that could turn into a bigger analytics platform, but initially, does this solve anyone else's problem here?
More analytics based on category and upvotes for products will be added to make the app better. Please let me know if you want something more to be added into this or any feedback here.
Very cool - I just signed up and think I will definitely use when our product is ready to be launched. Rather than GA, its PHA. Just curious.....was GA your inspiration or do you just love data? This is great though - i'm a huge numbers person!
@conrad_ehing Haha,, I never kinda compared it with GA though.. I just wanted to find data from PH, which evidently theres so much insights we can get into. I have many more lined up for the app like comparing topic performances, competitor analysis etc. Hope I can get it out sooner.
Wow the data on here is useful and incredibly validating. Makes me want to reconsider launching my next project for Pitching Investors. I seen one of the reports had a top product of month that I was hunter of! This is really great work @vignesh_vaidyanathan ! I would love to see more data on the best time to actual post your new product and the effects of comments, votes, etc.
@wendyde03942462 Thanks a lot Wendy. Glad that the data shown is useful. Much more to be added to the app like competitor analysis, maker research etc. Stay tuned. Hopefully it will be adopted as a platform to validate your launch and products.
