Product Hunt #1 Playbook — Launch Day SOP & Ranking Algorithm

---

name: "Product Hunt Launch Playbook — Win #1 Daily" version: 1.2.0 description: | Win #1 Product of the Day on Product Hunt. Completely reverse-engineered from 30x daily winner and 3x weekly winner campaigns — ranking algorithm decoded, launch timing optimized, hunter selection guide, community mobilization tactics, upvote strategy, and post-launch momentum playbook.

Use this if you're: (1) already read PH launch guides but still can't break into Top 5 and need algorithm-level deep optimization, (2) targeting Daily #1 and 5,000+ sign-ups with a proven 30+ case validated approach, or (3) an investor/accelerator coaching portfolio companies on PH launches.

What's inside: PH ranking algorithm decoded: weighted factors for first 3 hours, 24 hours, and weekly ranking · Pre-launch preparation: gallery optimization, product URL selection, tagline refinement (≤60 chars) · Launch timing optimization: exact PST launch windows + scheduling guide · Community engagement KPIs: upvote targets, comment response time, maker comment strategy · Anti-spam avoidance guide: what PH detects and penalizes, how to grow naturally · Post-launch 72-hour plan: maintaining momentum, conditions for Weekly #1 · Case studies: 3 different categories (AI Tool, App, SaaS) dissected

Expected outcomes: Product Hunt Daily #1 ranking · 3,000–5,000+ upvotes on day one · 3,000–10,000+ sign-ups (depending on product-market fit)
