Ask HN: Will it be a good time to launch a webapp in next 2 weeks here at HN?
Hi all,
I'm planning to launch a webapp here at Hacker News for review in 2nd or 3rd week of Dec'08. But I was wondering if I should postpone that plan because I suspect there will be less members here due to holiday period. So there will be less Hackers to give valuable feedback.
What do you think? Shall I postpone the launch for Jan 1st/2nd week? Or shall I go ahead and launch in Dec 2nd/3rd week?
Thanks for your inputs.

- dawie 18y agoI think that hackers often work through the "normal" holiday time. I know that I use time to get some stuff done for sure. Some people might have a bit more time and therefore spend some more time reviewing your app.
- ErrantX 18y agoagreed :) I'll be working over the Xmas break.
- pg 18y agoYou should always just launch whenever you're ready. It's a mistake to try to launch at specific times when you think people are paying attention, because everyone else does too.
- adityakothadiya 18y agoThanks PG. This is a great advice. I'll stick to my plan then.
- jjs 18y agoGo for it! I tend to spend huge amounts of time online during the holiday season. (This time, I'll be building the project I should've built the same time last year)...
- donw 18y agoNo, there will never be a good time to launch an application. Ever. We're all doomed. The future is in startups that target the cockroach market. Suggest you form a company based on random cheese, or find a way to turn stupidity into lollipops.
- vaksel 18y agoIts actually better to release during slow news days, because you'll get more exposure since you don't have to compete for attention
