In preparation for our own Product Hunt launch we have started reading about best practices and pre-launch procedures. Having gathered them in an ugly to-do list, we realised that others might find it useful as well. So we made it a bit prettier and decided to share it hoping that it will make someone's life easier.<p>This to-do list is mainly focused on tasks you can achieve in under 7 days, but you can of course copy it to your GDrive and adjust to your own needs.<p>Please, let us know if you find this to-do list helpful and we wish everyone a successful Product Hunt launch.<p>And here's the link: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/relatively-no-frills-ph-launch-checklist
In order to see this list I have to:<p>- Copy paste the link, which<p>- Loads product hunt<p>- Find the link to your website on PH's weird UI<p>- Finally land on your site (I'm tired already).<p>- Click a button "Show me the list"<p>- Enter my email address<p>- Wait for an email from you.<p>I'll let you decide if that's an optimal user experience...
Here's the <i>actual</i> link, so you don't have to give out a temporary email address like I did: <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11Db_mfeUocbPSIN52y8heHyCI2S5b3EP6HFxyWmovLk/edit" rel="nofollow">https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11Db_mfeUocbPSIN52y8h...</a><p>I would echo that this is a terribly user-hostile tactic and, to be honest, makes me want to avoid the main product you're launching.
