Frequently asked questions
What is on a Product Hunt launch checklist?
A Product Hunt launch checklist covers picking a hunter and a 12:01am PT post time, a punchy tagline and maker's first comment, a clean gallery, lining up early upvoters, a PH-only perk, warming your audience the day before, and replying to every comment fast. This tool gives you all of those steps with saved progress.
Is this SaaS launch checklist free?
Yes. The launch checklist is completely free with no login. Pick your platform and your ticked-off progress is saved in your browser so you can come back to it on launch day.
What should a Show HN checklist include?
A good Show HN checklist uses the 'Show HN: Product – what it does' title format, a live no-signup demo, a thoughtful first comment with the backstory and tradeoffs, zero marketing fluff, a Tue–Thu morning ET post time, and honest, fast answers to hard technical questions. Never ask for upvotes.
When is the best day to launch?
For Product Hunt, aim for a Tuesday to Thursday and avoid weekends and big-launch days. Show HN does best Tue–Thu morning US time. The checklist tailors timing advice to each platform you pick.
