What is the Product Hunt Visual Launch Editor

The Visual Launch Editor is how makers build a Product Hunt launch page, released Oct 23, 2026. It adds a live preview, edit in place for every part of the page and a launch checklist. The launch post lists three pain points first, then maps each fix to one, and it ranked first on Product Hunt that day.
