    In case anyone is unaware, ProductHunt wrote a blog post on how to launch on ProductHunt. Here it is: https://blog.producthunt.com/how-to-launch-on-product-hunt-7c1843e06399

      Indeed, I mentioned that article in our blog post but thought that IndieHackers were familiar with basics so skipped that part here.

      Thanks for mentioning it!

    Thanks for sharing Mert. Very useful. I plan to launch in Hacker news first. Do you have any suggestions on that? Here is the link of our github (https://github.com/Dan-inpooling/Privacy-eye) that we will be using for launch as it's a free & open source project for data privacy.

      Good luck on your launch Dan!

      I launched on HN as well (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19633066).

      Around 30 people visited our website and only 1 upvote on HN.

      I belive your project will gather more attraction from HN. Let us know how your launch goes!

        Got you! I will definitely share my experience with IH about how it goes. It's planned for this Wednesday (Stats showed that Wednesday has the best luck as weekday) :)
