The best day to launch on Product Hunt (PH) depends on your goals. If you want to win the Product Hunt leaderboard, it's better to launch on the weekends when there is less competition. However, if you want to get as many leads as possible from PH, it's better to launch from Monday to Thursday when there is more traffic on the site.

Any day, whatever days that you think suits you.
We chose Wednesday as Midweek made sense but I'd say just avoid the weekends as you do see a significant drop in traffic
@niamh_mcglade thats cool! this is very aligned with my PH visiting pattern too...i am checking PH more heavily on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursdays...
@mehmet_yitmen1 Yea I think the standard working week will be the best opportunity to get eyes on your launch. However there is the trade-off that competition on these days is much higher
@niamh_mcglade @mehmet_yitmen1 Do you think there is a difference in traffic between Tues, Wed or Thurs?
@mehmet_yitmen1 @xavier_jj I haven't noticed a massive difference. I think the bigger thing with product hunt is you can never predict what will launch on the same day as you. You may have an amazing product but the next notion could be launching too. All you can do is prepare and then roll with the punches
@niamh_mcglade @xavier_jj i dont have any idea, and i wish to see these kind of traffic data from PH...by the way @iqraarifali mentions that Wednesdays has a higher traffic...
Any day weekday, from Monday to friday.

Wednesday for higher traffic
Depends, weekends have slow traffic and allow low competition and weekdays are more tough to stay on the top but does give more attention.. You can choose whichever you wanna go with!
Any day is perfect
Maybe Monday
@shirley9606 Monday, really? why do you think so?
Launching soon!
It depends on what's your dream outcome!
If the aim is to get in top 5 of ph and have a talking point then choose weekends
If the aim is maximum traffic exposure, pick Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
Monday & Friday will get you a taste of both, less traffic & less competition
Oh, forgot to mention, just launched today :) some feedback please: https://www.producthunt.com/post...

Tuesday and Thursday are regarded as the most active days, as many major organizations choose these days to launch their products.
@erdemgelal might help with this
Tuesday to observe the engagement better! It differs from your purpose if you want to reach more people on Tuesday, but if you only want to be the #1 of the day, then it is better to prefer weekends since the competition will be lower :)
