Product Hunt is about consistency.
Each time you launch, you reach more people, build more followers, which then helps future launches.

In a recent issue of The Breakpoint, we talked quality software.
Do developers care about design? In my opinion, yes.
Products like Stripe, Linear, and Resend, stand out because they made quality software a first principle. "No detail is too small," as Resend states in their philosophy.

recently had many discussions on launch timing.
> When is the best day to launch [on Product Hunt]?
Below are three different stories, three different perspectives and approaches for inspiration.
TL,DR: There's no perfect timing. Just launch.

I write the Product Hunt newsletter. Here's how to get featured in it. : Product Hunt Discussion Forums | Product Hunt
Hey everyone 👋 I'm Aaron and for the last few years I've been writing the Product Hunt newsletters. That includes: our daily, weekly, developer tools, and AI tools ones. Every morning I look through the homepage to try and find the coolest products to write about and I want to share with you all what I look in a launch so you can increase your chances of getting featured! Uniqueness: It doesn't need to be a never before seen world-changing product. It just needs to do something unique. I'm not going to write about yet another social media scheduler unless it flips the script a little and does something interesting compared to the rest. A good gallery: I can't stress this enough, without some solid images showcasing your product, there's a high chance I will skim past it. It doesn't need to be mind-blowing top tier design skills, just avoid blurry images and avoid screenshots that are illegible. A ton of tools like @Xnapper make it super easy to take beautiful gallery shots in seconds.

You can just launch.
Take @kilocode.ai. Launched on a weekend with minimum, 5-day prep, and no cold outreach.
Results? #1 Product of the Day, #1 OSS Product of the Week, #1 OSS Product of the Month.
Keep it simple, launch, and keep launching.

Product Hunt is underrated.
It isn't just a launch platform. It’s also a newsletter with 1M subscribers, a search engine, an ad platform, and a Reddit-like community; a place where most users are technical founders, and dev tools among the most loved products.

Pro tip when launching on Product Hunt: Fine-tune your visual assets.
Take Aikido for example. #1 Product of the Day, #1 Developer Tool of the Month. They _really_ nailed it.
