See your Product Hunt launch come to life as you build it! The new visual editor lets you edit your launch in fewer steps while while automatically saving your draft. You can simply click the name, tagline, gallery or makers to edit them in place. A checklist shows what's required and what will help your launch stand out, and clicking a checklist item will take you straight to the field that needs work. Drafts, scheduled launches and live launches now all use the same editor.
Every launch on Product Hunt starts in our submission flow, and for a long time that meant a step-by-step form. You filled in one step at a time, opened a preview to see how it looked, then went back through the steps to find whatever was missing.
Today we're upgrading it with a visual launch editor. You can now build your launch on a page that looks like your launch, and you edit anything by clicking on it.
Here's what's new:
Start with your link. Paste your website link, and we bring in the details and media we can find. You can edit them before launching.
Edit in place. Name, tagline, description, gallery, links, pricing, tags, makers, shoutouts and your first comment are all edited right on the page.
See your edits, LIVE! The editor is now visual, so you can see exactly how your launch will look as you make changes.
A launch checklist. It sorts everything into Required, Needs attention and Make it stand out, and Fix links open the exact field that's blocking you.
Better tag discovery. Get suggestions based on your description, or browse every launch tag from A to Z.
editing right on the actual page preview is so much nicer. the checklist jumping to each field is clutch
Funny timing, I just finished setting up our launch for tomorrow and kept opening the preview to check how it looked. Congrats!
Product hunt product editing dashboard has always been confusing. This is great improvement.
This is soo good! I can't wait to launch more.
I'm sold when I read this works on the iOS app.
Great work guys!
Finally — submitting on mobile!
This is great — unifying what you get with what you see should improve completion and quality.
I still find the Product Hunt ontology confusing — especially categories, launch tags, etc.
I also would love more transparency about the questions about investment during submission. Where does that data go?
Love the new upgrades, definitely much better to be able to preview changes live.
Congrats, I tested it, the design is great, and the AI auto filling is accurate. Here is my feedback:
I believe that videos are an important part of a Launch this make it feel secondary:
Important: I can't understand the difference between category and tags, I put the same things.
Company info is a bit confusing (the last one): Everything in the list act like a progress bar in the form of a checkbox, you fill the form and it works. Company info is not: you need to click on it from the checkbox to fill it.
To finish my launch, I'm missing an image, but I want to keep it saved and come back to finish it later. I believe it's auto saved but it wasn't clear for me
the checklist that jumps straight to the broken field is what I'd use most. can a co-maker or hunter leave notes on a draft inside the editor, or does that still live in DMs?
"See your launch as you build it" is the exact pain point, and it's the one that made launches feel scary.
Most makers spend weeks building the product, then 30 minutes filling out a form they can't visualize. They hit "submit", and only then do they see the gallery is wrong, or the tagline is too long, or the first comment is missing a link.
Seeing it live while you edit it is the right fix. It turns "hope it looks good" into "I know it looks good."
The checklist links that open the field needing work are a useful detail. It saves the maker from searching through the form just to fix one missing piece.
It was pretty meta that we used the new editor to create this very post.
Would love for everyone to give the new launch submission flow a try & share their feedback! What's working well, What's confusing or what could be better?
Wow wow wow! Long-awaited update! Looking forward to test it out for the next launch. Is it available on PH mobile apps as well?
