Do you think summer is a good season for launching?
I’ve heard a lot of people say summer is a bad time to launch on Product Hunt.
“Everyone’s on vacation.No one’s on their laptop. Don’t even bother.”
I actually think summer has some underrated advantages. Especially for solopreneurs.
– Less noise (while others rest, you focus)
– Fewer launches overall (which means better chance of ranking higher)
– Easier to get featured
less competition = more visibility for top projects.
Sure, not everyone’s online.
But that might just be the point.
What do you think
Launch in summer: yes or no?

Yes, it is, but still think that more people will be online during off season. I am also on my travels atm, so cannot pay too much attention/time to the internet when I want to observe places :)
@busmark_w_nika Yes. There are still plenty of people online. And at the same time, it's a great opportunity to take advantage of the reduced competition.
Yesterday I didn’t touch any tech all day and totally missed the projects.
@byalexai I feel you. Today, I am travelling so I will not be able to dedicate my time to work (and that bothers me) :D

I think it's a good idea because not everyone is going on vacation right away and there's a good chance that a lot of people will support you during the launch.
@ixord exactly
do you plan to launch soon Igor?

@byalexai I don't plan to launch, thanks for asking)

Depends if you have enough runway to worry too much about the seasons. I'd prefer just to release more often in summer and winter!
@kevin_mcdonagh1 best approach!
Just ship!
