Ask YC: Is the coming monday a good launch date?
I was planning to launch a preview of my app last monday. But attention of everyone was a bit focused on the DEMO and TC50 startups, so I decided to shift the launch to a somewhat later date. It's just a tiny launch, a mini preview of the site, that's all.
But I question, are mondays good launch days? Are there better days? When does one reach the widest audience?
- noodle 18y agolaunch over the weekend, you'll probably get more blog buzz since people don't tend to launch over the weekend.
- furiouslol 18y agoActually no. Most blogs hibernate on weekends. Best to do it on weekdays.

- noodle 18y agoif the only reasoning as to why is because the blogs are hibernating, point me to a large-ish blog that doesn't post on the weekend. many of them post less, but many of them post less because there's less to say.
- Hates_ 18y agoI don't think it matters when you launch. If it's a mini-preview you might not want a big fanfare, but rather a small launch so that you can get users on board, get feedback and continually improve until you reach a stage where you're ready to really pump up the PR machine.
