Product Hunt Visual Launch Editor
Launching today
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.

Hey Product Hunt 👋
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.
@gabe Hey Gabe and team, congrats on the launch! 😊
One thing I’ve often struggled with while guiding makers is explaining the importance of the maker comment and keeping the tagline within the character limit. This visual editor should make that guidance so much easier, especially with the checklist showing exactly what’s required and what can be improved on the side bar.
I also love that it’s editable on mobile. The previous mobile experience was a bit broken, so having a proper editor on the phone is fantastic especially while you're away from your desk.
Most importantly, letting makers see their product page as they build it, before it goes live, removes so much guesswork. Previously, the draft mode served this purpose, but it only showed the page once everything was uploaded and saved as draft.
This should save a lot of back-and-forth between hunters and makers and help new makers understand exactly what they need to prepare their launch assets.
I like how @Product Hunt keeps making small but impactful incremental improvements to the platform. Thanks for making the launch experience smoother! :)
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?
@kate_ramakaieva It's web only for now! Curious to hear what you think when you try it out for your next launch.
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?
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.
