After launching on Product Hunt 5 weeks ago we took our learnings, updated our product OpinionX.co with user feedback and came back for round 2. On Tuesday we posted to Show HN and made it to the front page within 45 minutes.
Overall we were on the front page for most of the day and took the top spot on Show HN for hours.
We drove over 4,000 website visitors this week from HackerNews and have had a tonne of new users sign up.
The best advice I found for a good HN launch is from Harry at MarketingExamples.com with his article "How to get 30,000 Hacker News visitors to your website": https://marketingexamples.com/content/drive-traffic-from-hacker-news
