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.

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.

@freewilled What do you mean by second order effects, would you be kind enough to explain?
@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.

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...

@fabian_maume Ah good share! Thanks Fabian :)
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!

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.

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.
