The day you officially release your product to the public, typically on platforms like Product Hunt, Hacker News, or via a coordinated social media announcement.
Indie context: The most nerve-wracking and exciting day of the indie hacker journey. Will Product Hunt users love it or roast it? Either way, launch day is just the beginning, not the finish line.
