I know Monday and Tuesday is the most competitive.

Saturday. The competition is lesser as far as my experience!
The ideal time to launch a product is typically on a Tuesday, as consumers are more receptive after settling into the week and before the weekend distractions begin. Additionally, consider launching during specific seasons that align with product's relevance
producthunt is a global community, so timing doesn't really matter that much I think, given there are plenty of users across the globe. mid-week is always the busiest, just like the patterns for sending EDM right?
I'd say avoid Mondays.
I guess it's Friday night, when everyone has just finished a week's work and is in a good mood
I recommend Tuesday or Wednesday because as user activity is optimal, support team is fully available, and there's enough time to handle any technical issues.
I think Tuesday work well. People are settled into the week but not yet overwhelmed. That's when I usually see a lot of activity on launches.
I think the ideal day varies by product. For tech or business-focused tools midweek works best but for creative or lifestyle product weekends can sometimes shine.
I've had good results launching on Sundays. Surprisingly people seem to have more time to explore new things and engage when they are not swamped with work.
From my experience Thursday are great for launching.
