[ChangeLog] April 24 Changelog — Arcade interactive demos, improved launch editor, Shoutouts

The changelog is back! Expect regular updates going forward. This week we have a couple improvements to our launch submission flow.

Arcade interactive demos

The most successful launches tell a compelling story of the product, including showing what the user interface looks and feels like. Arcade allows you to—in minutes—create a realistic interactive demo that shows off your product's UX.

This adds to our existing storytelling integrations, along with Screenspace (interactive demos) and Loom (videos).

Improved Editor

In the past, the edit flow was significantly different from the initial creation flow. They're one in the same now, and in addition, we fixed lots of minor issues.

In case you missed it

Shoutouts are a way to highlight the products that made your product great. They're quickly becoming one of the most interesting ways to show the craft behind your launch. The companies you shout out will be notified so they can support your launch too. Also, launches with Shoutouts are more likely to be featured on the homepage and in our newsletter. Need inspiration? Here are a few examples.

Additionally, we redesigned our menu bar to be easier to navigate:

new navigation bar

Love the shoutout component ! Nothing better than the stamp of approval from other makers.

Great new features your team has been cooking up Rajiv. I hadn't even noticed the navigation had been redesigned until it was pointed out. 👍 The storytelling feature is something I haven't seen utilized by many launches yet, but I'm sure it'll catch on once more products launch with it. Shoutouts I saw products use in launches from day 1, that will certainly be a long-lasting and beloved feature. I'm excited to see what else you and the team will be releasing next. 👏

Great changes, which will definitely improve the experience. However, there is some issue with the profile link(https://www.producthunt.com/@my/...) It is not working. I believe you might be changing that as well, if not then I hope you see that.

Launching soon!
Thanks Rajiv for sharing the changelog. :) Happy to see the new changes. The launch post editing button was hidden earlier, it was a pain to educate Makers on how to edit their launch post. I like that it is now moved to the top where it says admin. :)

Shoutouts is a great new feature for sure. We've always been building our tools on the back of solid proven and tested tech but never had an opportunity to capitalize on it publicly when launching on PH. Going to launch a new product on PH tomorrow using Shoutouts for the first time - curious to see what difference it'll make 🤞

@rajiv_ayyangar Hey there! I just noticed a little bug with the Profile button (it now leads to a 404) in the dropdown under the user avatar; maybe it's related to the last updates. Screenshots to reproduce the issue:
