Does anyone feel exhausted after their Product Hunt launch day?

We launched NotionApps (https://www.producthunt.com/posts/notionapps) on PH this Thursday. It was a crazy day! During the first four hours, we focused on getting as much feedback as possible. For the next 16 hours, we reached out to people and asked for feedback on our Product Hunt launch. In the last four hours, one of the products started to move up the leaderboard quickly, gaining up to 3 upvotes per minute for 2 hours. I was relieved when Product Hunt adjusted the upvotes. We ended the day in second place. We could have been first, but Dall E's coming soon page took the top spot! I'm still super proud of our accomplishment. By the end of the day, I was exhausted and needed a break from marketing. But today, I realized that we were only about 100 upvotes away from the fifth product of the week. I sat down for an hour trying to push myself to do something, but I just couldn't. My mind wants to work on other things now. Does anyone else feel the same way after a PH launch, exhausted AF?

Hey we can relate! We launched on the same day (Moveo AI). https://shorturl.at/jOTY2 Very tough day especially with Dalle E 3 pre-launch! You were our target but it was impossible to get close to you😂 so kudos on your the marketing efforts!!! We also followed the same technique and tried to get a head start before US wakes up as we are in Greece. PH groups, clients, etc which led to us getting #4 position. Unfortunately our PH launch was a day before a conference so no rest for Moveo yet!

Launching soon!
@panagiota_gkotsi Being two engineers building notionapps.com, it feels nice to hear a compliment about our marketing efforts. Thank you 😄 You are right, seems like getting a head start in the first 4 hours is crucial. In our case, the graph was linear after that. And congratulations on your launch. Went through your website on the launch day, loved the simplicity!
