Why launch timing matters
A launch day lasts 24 hours somewhere, but your audience is awake for only part of it. Product Hunt's day starts at 12:01 AM Pacific Time, which is morning in Europe and evening in India, so European and Asian supporters can vote first while US visitors arrive later.
Plan who you will message when: people asleep at your launch moment cannot help in its first hours.
