1. Not all side projects are posted as Show HN. For example, I know some cool hardware hacks that never get posted. 2. Not all side projects are yet developed.

1. Not all side projects are posted as Show HN. For example, I know some cool hardware hacks that never get posted. 2. Not all side projects are yet developed. Some may never be ready for a Show HN but I want to know about them. 3. I find it informative to talk to developers when they are still developing it. This is the time they talk about problems and solutions and don't make a marketing pitch. 4. Main reason : I want to know what problems people are currently working on. It helps me in brainstorming and getting ideas for my own side projects.
