We followed several of the Product Hunt launch checklists including...
* https://heyday.xyz/blog/how-to-launch-on-product-hunt/
* https://www.producthunt.com/launch
Learnings so far
* It's REALLY important to stack a bunch of upvotes right at midnight PST. We fell behind in the first hour, and it's quite tough to get back in the top 10 afterwards. Make more friends in Europe and Asia!
* Launching on PH is fun, but not a lot of discovery seems to actually happen on the site. It seems like the winners from the initial batch of upvotes at ~2am PT generally stay the winners throughout the day
* Some of the "how to launch" articles suggest that only getting "seasoned" accounts to upvote and comment is important. On the contrary, seems like a lot of the top 3 traffic is driven by fairly low quality interactions (not many comments and low quality comments)
