When a MVP or Beta Product is ready to be launched on ProductHunt?

Question

When is the right time to launch a product on ProductHunt? 
Is it better to have a small community first and engage more with the social community to get the project more known first?

When did you launch your product?

I got an almost ready MVP of an Open-source project to be launched, to secure and improve DevOps work in Cloud.

It is my thought to release the GitHub Repository and Website first, then create a launch day later, when the project came out from the MVP and turn into a Beta.

Also is it better to launch a product with a hunter or by myself?

Any advice?

Thanks in advance,
Andrea

@andrea_cavagna I "launched" the initial shitty MVP a few months ago and it was clearly not ready. 
Now I am debating when to launch next (still struggling to retain the existing users)
