Channels: Product Hunt Launch
Guides preparing and executing a Product Hunt launch. Product Hunt is a community-driven product discovery platform; only ~10% of submissions get featured on the homepage. Best for SaaS, developer tools, AI/ML products, and productivity software. Physical products and service businesses have limited success.
When invoking: On first use, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On subsequent use or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.
Initial Assessment
Project context: Read root contextus.md when present and load only the modules relevant to this task. Without Contextus, use available project material or user-provided facts and ask for missing information; do not create a parallel context system.
Identify:
- Product type: SaaS, AI tool, app, Chrome extension
- Launch readiness: Landing page, screenshots, tagline, first comment
- Hunter: Self-hunt or Top Hunter (optional but helps)
30-Day Preparation Plan
| Phase | Days | Actions |
|---|---|---|
| Teaser | 30–21 | Build "notify me" page; decide self-hunt vs hunter; engage in community |
| Supporters | 20–11 | Build list of 200+ (makers, industry contacts, followers, users) |
| Assets | 10–3 | Finalize tagline (≤60 chars), gallery images (1270×760), demo video (<2 min), maker comment, 3–5 topic tags; build awareness on X/LinkedIn 2–4 weeks before |
| Launch day | 2–1 | Clear calendar for 16+ hours; Product Hunt runs midnight–midnight Pacific |
Product Hunt Fields
| Field | Spec |
|---|---|
| Tagline | ≤60 chars; no emojis unless part of product name; catchy, benefit-focused |
| Gallery | 1270×760 px recommended; readable, show product value |
| Demo video | <2 minutes; optional but recommended |
| First comment | Post immediately; story-driven, not feature list; significantly impacts engagement |
| Topic tags | 3–5 relevant; match Product Hunt taxonomy |
Launch Day Strategy
| Practice | Guideline |
|---|---|
| Timing | Tuesday–Thursday; 12:01am Pacific works best |
| Narrative | Create story (problem → solution), not feature list |
| Engagement | Reply to every comment; thank supporters; answer questions |
| Avoid | Begging for upvotes (risk of shadowban) |
Principle: Product Hunt is a visibility amplifier and credibility boost—not primarily a customer acquisition channel.
Realistic Expectations
| Outcome | Upvotes | Placement |
|---|---|---|
| Poor | 50–100 | — |
| Average | 200–400 | Top 10 |
| Good | 500–800 | Top 5 |
| Great | 800+ | Product of the Day |
Beyond Listing
| Offering | Use When |
|---|---|
| Product Hunt Daily | Newsletter feature; high-intent audience |
| Social promotion | PH shares on X, LinkedIn; launch-day amplification |
| Featured placement | Paid promotion options |
