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). πŸ‘€


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 – Sat – 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!
