What problem does it solve? Coordinating a product launch across Product Hunt, Hacker News, BetaList, AppSumo, directories, and social channels is complex, and mistimed or poorly sequenced launches waste the one-time momentum window. This Skill provides a structured week-by-week launch framework from pre-launch waitlist building through post-launch amplification. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Launch Sequence Framework: A week-by-week plan from Week -4 (foundation, waitlist) through Day 0 (launch execution) to Week +4 (monetization, reviews). - Platform Deep Dives: Detailed playbooks for Product Hunt (algorithm, page anatomy, benchmarks) and Hacker News Show HN (timing, title formulas, upvote mechanics), plus directory tiering and AppSumo/G2/Capterra strategies. - Waitlist Playbook: Referral-based waitlist architecture with tiered rewards and conversion benchmarks. - Use Case: A solo founder asks to plan a Product Hunt launch; the agent gathers product type, audience, budget, and timeline, then produces a sequenced plan covering PH page assets, supporter coordination, launch-day hour-by-hour execution, and Week +1 amplification. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to plan a multi-platform launch for your product, providing your product type, target buyer, existing audience, timeline, and budget.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I plan a Product Hunt launch?

Start 2-4 weeks early by building a landing page with waitlist capture, drafting your Product Hunt page, and briefing 20-50 supporters. Launch Tuesday through Thursday at 12:01 AM PT, respond to every comment within 30 minutes, and never publicly ask for upvotes.

What is the best time to post on Hacker News Show HN?

Post Show HN Tuesday through Thursday between 8:00-10:00 AM PT when engineers browse before standup, or Sunday 6:00-9:00 PM PT for lower competition. Early upvote velocity matters most since HN uses time-decayed scoring.

How do I build a waitlist before launching a product?

Create a landing page with a clear value proposition, capture emails with use case tags, and add a referral loop with tiered rewards such as early access or lifetime discounts. Waitlist-driven launches convert at 25-85% versus 2-4% for cold launches.

When should I avoid launching on AppSumo?

Avoid AppSumo if your product has high per-user marginal costs like heavy AI API usage, if you cannot handle 500-2000 new users in a week, or if you lack upsell paths beyond the lifetime deal. Use credit bundles or BYOK to control API costs.

Why did my Product Hunt launch get low traction?

Low traction usually comes from launching on Monday or Friday, a weak tagline, or no coordinated supporters. Launch Tuesday through Thursday, sharpen your title and first maker comment, and line up 20+ supporters to engage in the first hour.

What should I do after launch day to keep momentum?

In Week +1, publish a YouTube demo, write a launch retrospective blog post, submit to remaining directories, and request G2/Capterra reviews. Going silent after Day 0 is one of the most common launch mistakes.
