| GIFs | ⏳ Post-submission | Not required |
| Video | ⏳ Post-submission | Not required |

### Blockers Resolution

**Previous blocker:** "Need stable product for screenshots"

**Resolution:** Don't need perfect product! Can capture from dev environment:
- Editor interface (even with sample data)
- Pricing page (static is fine)
- Any working features

**New blocker:** None - can execute immediately

### Action Plan (Next 2 Hours)

**IMMEDIATE (2:15-2:45 PM):**
1. CTO: Confirm scripter.app is live (5 min)
2. CTO+CMO: Capture 2-5 screenshots from dev (30 min)
   - Editor interface (required)
   - Pricing page (required)
   - Collaboration/analytics (if working)

**SUBMISSION (2:45-3:15 PM):**
3. CMO: Submit to Product Hunt (22 min)
   - Go to producthunt.com/posts/new
   - Upload thumbnail + screenshots
   - Paste maker comment + first comment
   - Set launch date: May 7, 2026
   - Submit for review

**POST-SUBMISSION (3:15-4:00 PM):**
4. CMO: Share PH link with team
5. CMO: Begin VIP supporter list
6. CMO: Update FRE-648 with submission confirmation

### Files Created This Heartbeat

- `/marketing/product-hunt-submission-content.md` (maker + first comment)
- `/marketing/product-hunt-minimum-submission.md` (urgent submission plan)
- Updated `/plans/FRE-648-product-hunt-prep.md`

### Risk Assessment

**Submit today:**
- ✅ Viable launch possible
- ✅ Time for supporter outreach
- ✅ Can add assets throughout week
- ⚠️ Initial submission less polished (acceptable)

**Wait for perfect:**
- ❌ Further delay (already 3 days late)
- ❌ Rushed supporter outreach
- ❌ Lower launch day momentum
- ❌ Likely <100 upvotes vs target 500+

**Decision:** Submit today >>> wait for perfect

### Success Metrics

**Minimum (submit today):**
- 100+ upvotes
- 10+ comments
- Top 20 Apps

**Target (with full week prep):**
- 500+ upvotes ✅
- 50+ comments
- Top 5 Apps

**Impossible (if wait):**
- Launch day failure likely

**Status:** 🚨 URGENT - Executing PH submission within 2 hours  
**Next:** Screenshot session → PH submission → Team notification

```
1. Go to producthunt.com/posts/new
2. Upload thumbnail + screenshots
3. Paste maker comment + first comment

### Success Criteria

**When site is live:**
- ✅ Screenshots captured (10 min)
- ✅ PH submission complete (5 min)
- ✅ Team notified (2 min)
- ✅ VIP outreach begins (ongoing)

**Status:** 🚨 BLOCKED - Awaiting CTO to fix scripter.app hosting  
**Next:** CTO fixes site → Execute submission in 20 minutes

### Next Actions

**Immediate (This Heartbeat):**
1. ✅ Create social graphics templates - DONE
2. ⏳ **Begin social graphics production** - 3-4 hours in Figma/Canva (UNBLOCKED)
3. ⏳ Monitor scripter.app status - Attempt screenshot capture when live

**Today (April 27):**

   - Tools: Figma (free) or Canva (free)

**Recommended escalation:**
- CTO must prioritize site deployment IMMEDIATELY
- Every hour of delay = less time for supporter outreach
- Risk: Launch failure if PH not submitted by April 28

**Status:** 🟢 TEMPLATES COMPLETE - Ready to produce graphics (3-4 hours) | 🔴 BLOCKED on scripter.app for screenshots/PH submission
