It's 11pm before your launch. Your PH page is ready but you have no idea what actually moves the ranking algorithm. Upvotes? Comments? Time-of-day? This is the hour-by-hour operations manual from someone who's coached 30+ #1 finishes. What's inside: • Ranking algorithm deep-dive (it's not just upvotes — weighted factors decoded) • Launch day minute-by-minute checklist (PST timing, first 3 hours are critical) • Voter mobilization strategies (ethical, anti-spam-safe approaches) • Asset preparation templates (gallery, tagline ≤60 chars, maker comments) • Post-launch 72h momentum plan (convert PH traffic → retained users) Built from: 30+ PH #1 daily wins, 10+ weekly top 3, 2 monthly top 5. 3,000-5,000+ upvotes per launch.
