[THREAD] About my @ProductHunt launch.

Yesterday(October 17th) I launched my first project ever on PH, and my project has been on the front page in top 15 for 24 hours. I had a total of 114 upvotes. Pretty satisfied about it, although I will aim for top 5 my next project.

This thread will be about what I went through as a rookie and what I have learnt from this first experience.

First things first. I think launching a product on PH is stressful for everyone, but i had a whole another stress because of two things:

I am a student and I live in France, so when I posted on PH just after midnight for San Francisco time, it was early in the morning here.

1)Our products as indies can almost never be perfect at launch, so it mat crash, server can go down, someone could attack your website.

About that last one by the way. Although yeah most people are awesome and are willing to try your project peacefully, give feedback and help you out. Some people are just bad, and will try SQL injections, spam your contact forms..
For example, my email forms were attacked via jS:
