    Great list Dan, what's your advice for timing a launch on Product Hunt? Is it better to wait until you have a community to tap into that can upvote/share the product when it goes live?

    Also, I'm developing a new feature for https://sourcee.app that would be the perfect fit for #4 on your list, Pitching Media with Your Product, it would be great to chat!

      Launch on the PH if you have 100-200 people to upvote you.

      Great product, thanks for the recommendation!
