Thursday is "the best day to launch" in 2024
Hello Product Hunters. I'm currently building a "Producthunt Product" named "AI Product Hunter". During the process of its building, I collected PH API data(2024-01-01 ~ 2024-07-15). Analyzing the API data, I found some interesting insights. Let me share. Sun Mon Tues Wed Thu Fri Sat number of posts 2042 3387 4008 3833 3572 3014 2059 number of featured 345 634 789 784 798 708 422 featured rate 16.90% 18.72% 19.69% 20.45% 22.34% 23.49% 20.50% average posts of day 72.93 116.79 143.14 136.89 127.57 107.64 73.54 average featured posts of day 12.32 21.86 28.18 28.00 28.50 25.29 15.07 average upvotes of daily total 3045.3 5887.9 7104.0 6713.5 6933.9 4858.3 3011.2 average upvotes of post 41.76 50.41 49.63 49.04 54.35 45.13 40.95 average upvotes of featured post 202.12 222.50 206.06 196.41 200.31 155.59 165.33 average upvotes of non-featured post 9.15 10.78 11.29 11.15 12.37 11.22 8.88 median upvotes of post 6 6 5 6 6 6 6 median upvotes of featured post 124 114 102 97.5 102 79 92 median upvotes of non-featured post 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 As I researched in the internet, Tuesday or Wednesday is generally considered the best day. However, according to this research, Thursday seems "the best day to launch" in terms of being featured and upvotes. Based on this understanding, I decided to release my product tomorrow! https://www.producthunt.com/prod...
Should be there a limit on the PH for featured products?
Each day, many products are launched on Product Hunt. Most of them won't make it to the "featured" category, and with the platform's popularity, it can be difficult to "scan" through all of them. Would you limit the number of products launched each day? How many? Feel free to share your approach.
