Gadget Hunt – Product Hunt for physical products only

  Making your name a derivative of "Product Hunt" for the purpose of marketing as "Product Hunt for a slightly different type of product" will kill or derail your project. And you'll never be safe, just look at twitpic's recent collapse.

    Yeah, I've had that thought in my head but I think it's mostly positive to call it Gadget Hunt now in the beginning. I asked a question about this on Quora and got some great answers: https://www.quora.com/I-created-GadgetHunt-club-like-a-substitute-to-Product-Hunt-for-gadgets-physical-products-The-name-seems-to-be-good-now-in-the-beginning-but-will-it-kill-my-site-after-a-while-because-of-its-similarity-to-the-name-Product-Hunt-Is-this-name-good-or-bad https://www.quora.com/I-created-GadgetHunt-club-like-a-subst...

      That will probably end up being part of ProductHunt's evidence you're intentionally building your startup on their name and brand, as will this submission. It's pure liability and it can destroy your startup.
