We have been gathering product feedback and working tirelessly to introduce new features.
All that we have been working on for the last year was building up to this.
While this is a good kind of scary milestone, I would love to know the community's thoughts on how to keep yourself sane at this time.

Think about a question to ask here on the day of your launch. Something else than "we just launched today". This will send a notification to your product hunt follower and can give you extra exposure: https://www.tetriz.io/blog/boost...

- Reach out to influencers, bloggers, and other key people in your industry to tell them about the upcoming launch
- You should also start engaging with the ProductHunt community by joining conversations and submitting helpful comments
- When your product is launched, be sure to post it on ProductHunt early and often - you can even use the hashtag #ProductLaunch to help spread the word
- Finally, make sure you take advantage of all the features offered by ProductHunt so users can easily find, favorite, and share your product.
Good luck!
@heyumarkhan thanks Umar for the detailed explaination. Makes sense. Let’s hope for the best!
Reach out to relevant folks in the PH community. Their contribution to your launch is more significant than others. Two things - your product positioning & PH community outreach.
@varunvarma91 Thanks for the suggestion and kudos on a great launch of Typo.
Will get in touch with you to steal some of your strategies, hope that is fine with you. :p
@travis_page Dayum, I don't think that's gonna help :p

These jitters will turn into excitement instead of anxiety.
@sabahet_amjad1 yes yes, I see that happening now!
Reach out to as many people as you can for their support and best of luck with the launch!
@anoirhoumou Sure, on it Sir! Thanks :)
@anoirhoumou btw I am subscribed to RECRD; waiting for the launch :)

Keep your launch day planned. Every hour do some activity or reach out but as per plan so you don’t miss out on anything in launch day hussle😇
Also, make sure if a person from your team has already reached out to few people then you don’t. It spams a lot of people unnecessarily even though they would have already supported.
@saloni_jain10 Makes sense Saloni, thanks for your inputs, will keep that in mind.

Don't overthink it too much. You can launch again after a while and you can also launch in other platforms. Its not the end of world. Whats more important is you keep your ears open and listen to user reviews.

Relax and enjoy the launch process 😎
@dmitry_sytsevich thanks Dmitry! Will do :)
Just start preparing for the second-order effects around your feature & Best of luck👍
@harshactually whenever introducing a new feature there are few things that can go unaccounted like Increased workload, Impact on existing features & changes in user expectations.
In such cases you need keep close eye on macros & above points to avoid anomalies & brace up.
@freewilled What do you mean by second order effects, would you be kind enough to explain?
@freewilled ah yes yes, absolutely. Thanks for explaining it so well Ajay.
Enjoy the moment, soak it all in. The emotions and feelings you'll have this week can't be replicated by any drugs, so instead of trying to deny the emotions, bathe in their existence. Good luck!
Congrats! And your learning begins; document, analyze and iterate. Keep an eye on how your ICP is responding!
@kajal_jain6 Ahan, sure Kajal, Something exciting is going to happen for sure.
Will keep our eyes and ears open.
