The quest for Product of the Day: A big list for maximising traffic on Product Hunt in 2020

Hi all, I wanted to share a list that I personally compiled prior to launching the beta version for my free PowerPoint alternative www.sizle.io on Product Hunt the other week https://www.producthunt.com/posts/sizle-3

This post isn't about how to post on PH, there are lots of guides on that, this is to maximise your upvotes on your launch day.

From memory 99% of these are free and very easy to submit, if you come across one that is paid or know of another listing that can be added to this list, let me know and I'll edit the OP :)

Legend 👇

🚀 = POST ON LAUNCH DAY
⏰ = POST 1-2 DAYS BEFORE LAUNCH
✋ = POST LATER
👨‍💻 = DEVELOPER SPECIFIC
