First launch on Product Hunt - any advice?

https://buzzchronicles.com

Hi,

I think I'm done with all the tweaks that I keep doing with https://buzzchronicles.com and I want to finally launch it on Product Hunt.

Any important stuff that I should keep in mind before I submit it there?

Is the product and the instruction clear for you?

Thanks for any feedback, guys!

    I wrote a blog article on Product Hunt that might be useful!

    Simple product, PH should love it.

    There are a ton of articles online you can read about launch read a few.

    Most important tips:

    • Post at 00:01
    • I hope you have an audience who will care about it to upvote it at the start
    • Have good videos/images and text https://previewhunt.com
    • Having a hunter is good, but don't invest massive time in it

      don't post at 00:01 - 3am/4am PST is better :)

        If you do that you will never have a chance to come back :)

          you will be burried by other posts if you launch at 00:01. The ranking on Product Hunt is based on many factors, not just upvotes. Trust me, I know :)

      TIL about Preview Hunt, will definitely help me prepare to launch on PH!

    I think the product and landing page seems simple and clear. Just FYI though, the tweet names link to a user url which doesnt seem to exist. Also there's a dead image link on the bottom of the landing page - https://imgur.com/a/jau7gVA

    Good luck!

      Thanks for pointing that out!

    Its an interesting idea, took me a while to get it. So basically it's a way for users to save tweets they found interesting? I do like the openness of the app (no login) but not sure if I would personally use it over the bookmark feature on twitter yet.

    That being said, best of luck on your Product Hunt lunch.

      Thanks for honest feedback! It's an experiment, so let's see where it goes :)

    I think nowadays adding a short video with your face + screenvids of your app definitely add a lot of value!
