Product Hunt should be named Project Hunt
I have been following product hunt from the last few months actively. I see a lot of products which are not worthy of being called a product. Majority of them are a side projects that people can work on or a company can work on.
I dont understand why people claim a side project as a product. ProductHunt in my mind is no more than a ProjectHunt.

- pheonikai 10y ago'Product' for me is anything which is complete and can be used by other people whereas I consider 'project' to be unpolished version meant for my own use only. Going by that, product hunt name seems fine. It is not a start-up hunt and not every product is meant to be used by masses.
