I will also launch for the first time soon on PH, good luck!
From my understanding, being engaged in the community helps a lot. Follow other hunters, support products, create engaging discussions, etc.
And of course, prepare your launch with your early believers (social media announcement, mail, etc.).
We might first launch on other websites (before PH). Have a look at this list: (https://www.indiehackers.com/pos...)
Congrats on your upcoming launch, Tim!
My top tip would be to engage with your audience, offer value and be responsive to feedback.
Speaking of launches, we've just gone live with Lingoedit, an AI-powered document editor and translator.
