Ask HN: Launch App during or after WWDC?

1 pointskcoop13y ago3 comments

My iPhone app is (finally!) ready for submission to the app store. Would you launch right into the noise of the WWDC, or wait until after it had subsided?

I'd wait - actually a couple of weeks, if you can. Then the WWDC noise will have subsided and columnists and bloggers will be looking for new news.

What about for soft launching? I wouldn't mind a little time to respond to any initial issues that show up.

Is there significant value in the first submission? In particular, for getting onto Apple's notable list?

Apple always suggest launching it after WWDC so it doesn't compete and get lost.
