Whaaat? Cannot cancel scheduled post on PH 🀣

I was trying create a draft for lonely.dev. The only choice to save the profile is to launch, either now, or a schedule date. Of course I don't want to launch in such a rush, so I schedule the furthest date away which is on this Friday. And I was about to further extend another 7 days today.

But....

I CANNOT DO IT. Also, I have no option to cancel it neither. I HAVE TO launch lonely.dev on this Friday, no other choice. I'm new to PH, maybe there is, please do let me know πŸ˜™

I will post a milestone to announce the PH launch, and I hope you guys will like it as you do for IH.

    Oof yeah, their error messaging is bad too... I had to actually dig into the browser inspector to see why the form was failing for me. Never explicitly found out the reason the form wouldn't submit but at least I could tell there even was an error that way.

    Any PH team members here? I think it's really worth looking into this and trying to solve it! It was almost frustrating enough to not post πŸ˜„

      Yah same thought here, also, there is no verification mechanism behind the submission, meaning anyone can submit your product and take all your credit, that feel sucks. They have to have a step to verify the domain first.

    It happened with me, and this is how I dealt with it --

    Better than half-cooked launch though.

    Good to know, I was planning on putting together a draft.

    If you still want to try to extend it you could try reaching out to their support, they've been pretty helpful in the past.

    I think my co-founder did a similar thing this week - wanted to create draft, but now we have a hard launch date instead... But fortunately for us we'll be able to finish.

    I suppose you can just have set this one as pre-launch for "awareness" and then do another campaign once you're ready? You may need a new domain though as PH is picky about projects launching too many times during a short period.

      I think I'll do it. Will it be tomorrow as well? If so, let's high five βœ‹
