What do we need to prepare before launching on Product Hunt?

Our team is planning to launch a new version of our product on Product Hunt next week, after a period of optimization and improvements. As we get closer to launch day, I realize there’s a lot to prepare, and I’m curious about how other teams usually approach this process.

So far, here’s what we’ve been focusing on:

• Most importantly, making sure the product works well and delivers real value

• Continuous testing to ensure performance and stability

• Designing clean and clear product screenshots

• Preparing a summary of what’s been updated, fixed, or optimized

• Writing launch content (tagline, description, first comment, etc.)

• Maintaining good health and a stable mindset for the launch 😅

• Expanding our network and connecting with other makers

I’d love to hear from others who have launched on Product Hunt before:
What does your preparation process usually look like?
Is it complicated?
What do you think is essential to prepare before launch day?

Thanks in advance for sharing your experience 🙌
