Easiest way to share is with a dashboard:

We put in pretty minimal effort to launch preparations, I'd say 45 minutes. Got screenshots, took a few gifs, did a half-assed loom video.

Timeline:
Launched at 9am CEST
Messaged friends links to PH home page
Put the widget onto our website.
Comments started rolling in
LinkedIn adds from Product Hunt Launch Specialists and Product Hunters started rolling in. We ended up with about 50 between us, all were ignored.
Traffic starts rolling in, our first user signs up and activated.
We post on our personal socials.
Finish at #8.
We are featured on PH's email, spike not so big from this.
We are featured on several web scraped ai tool blogs, spike also not huge from these.
We had 2 conversions to paid.
Traffic is the split we expected, signups are expected, however, we were surprised our second most viewed page was pricing.

All in all, Product Hunt is definitely still a good use of time, generated a fair amount of buzz and traffic. Backlinks are still important, and all of the scrapers populating it to other sites is important.
