Do you use Product Hunt more/less during summer, weekends or holidays?
I'm doing a little research on the traffic on this platform. Many people ask when it's a good idea to launch a product on Product Hunt.
I'd like to know your perspective on how you spend your time here during specific seasons (weekends, holidays, summer). π
If you have any ideas on how to increase the traffic here, regardless of the date, ideas are more than welcome.
For example, I take into account several facts.
In general, the number of upvotes is lower on weekends. (Fri β Sat β Sun)
During weekends/holidays, people are more outside, with their families, and less involved in work projects.
This is also related to the presence on LinkedIn, where people are mostly looking for support. (LinkedIn is a career site, so work takes a back seat for some people during the holidays.)
On the other hand:
Thanks to the new Product Hunt feature (showing online users in discussions), I noticed quite a high number of people reading posts today.
Many users maintain their PH streak, so they need to visit the platform every day.

I think summer sounds good to release. Good vibes, sunshine, and positively compared to winter.

@new_user___142202423266b2aaa452077Β Have you had that experience? Because summers are days when people are mostly on vacation.

I have not. A wild guess on my end!
