Pre-launch Dashboard

We have an all new pre-launch dashboard to help manage your scheduled launches. As soon as you schedule your launch, which you should always do, you'll land on the new dashboard. It gives you a centralized place to check the status of your launch, quickly make any changes you need to, and see helpful tips about what to include to have a successful launch! If you have a scheduled launch already, you can quickly find the pre-launch dashboard from My products

Shoutouts Update

Shoutouts continue to be an incredible way to see which products and tools are being used by our community. It also gives Makers a way to show off their launches in even more places! When you shout out a product, your launch will actually be shown on that product's hub.

While we previously limited Shoutouts to just 3, the sky is now the limit! We want to hear about every product you've used to bring your idea to life.

Additionally, we now have categories to help you shout out the products you're looking for! And if you don't find what you're looking for, you can always add it yourself.

Check it out!

Launch Assistant

Launching on Product Hunt is now even easier. After submitting the main URL of your product, our new launch assistant will automatically pull in data and pre-fill the title, tagline, links, topics, and even images. You can make any edits you'd like to from there, but it gives you a pawesome starting point!

It looks great! Kudos to the PH team. Regarding the review button, how much time does it take to receive a response? I have already used this option but haven't received any feedback yet.

Product Hunt is becoming increasingly impressive. That said, I'm eagerly anticipating analytics features similar to what Twitter offers. By the way, I submitted XspaceGPT on Monday, but it seems like the Launch Assistant didn't work as well as I had hoped.

Launching soon!

Hi Rajiv (@rajiv_ayyangar) I wanted to give a quick shoutout (pun intended!) for the recent changes to the shoutout box and the introduction of Launch Assistant. :D I noticed the reduced size of the shoutout box; it is a great improvement. It frees up valuable screen space without sacrificing functionality. Launch Assistant is super useful, especially for Hunters! Now we can just hunt the product with pre-filled data and the Makers team would have an option to make desired edits at their pace before final submission to the mod team. Product visibility on the product hub through shoutouts is fantastic for additional exposure. I'll be sending a separate, private note with some additional thoughts on the shoutout feature and the pre-launch dashboard. I'm excited! Thank you for the updates! :)

Cool launch assistant feature! P.S. Is there a space for RFC? Would be so awesome to see if you've already extended the streak or not 👀

This new pre-launch dashboard sounds like a fantastic improvement! Centralizing all launch details in one place should make it much easier to manage and track progress. I appreciate the tips on what to include for a successful launch; it’s always helpful to have guidance on that. How have others found the transition to this new dashboard?

Didn’t know about shoutouts before! I think that might be the real place to see the actual adoption of new tools

Have you considered designing a function to compare the differences between similar products, which is more convenient for filtering and voting for favorite products? Looking forward to your reply.😊
