What is a Product Hunt launch?
A Product Hunt launch is a one-day listing of a new product on Product Hunt, where people browse, try and vote for what was launched that day. A good one brings early users and feedback; it rarely brings lasting growth on its own.
What does a launch need?
- A product people can try that day.
- A short name line and a few images or a video that show it working.
- A first comment from the maker: what it is, who it is for, what is still rough.
- The maker around all day to answer.
What should you avoid?
Product Hunt asks makers not to ask for votes. Launches pushed by vote swaps and paid groups get spotted, and they teach you nothing about whether people want the product.
What does Propel do?
Propel prepares your launch from what you built: the name line, the description and the first comment. You paste it in and post; the last click is yours. Communities stay at "It suggests". See Get talked about.
