[ChangeLog] July 15 Changelog — Pre-launch Dashboard, Shoutouts Updates, Launch Assistant

by

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!

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! :)

That's brilliant – excited to see more community engagement and product showcases. The Launch Assistant will definitely save a ton of time and reduce friction for new launches. Thanks for making the process smoother and more intuitive! 😄 Can’t wait to try these features out. Keep up the great work! 🙌

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 👀

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.😊
