At what point does a side project stop being “just a side project”?

Many products start as experiments built at night or on weekends.

At first, there s no pressure just curiosity and momentum.

But at some point, expectations creep in: users, revenue goals, support, roadmap decisions.

Product Hunt tools for your launch

I am trying to gather tools directly developed for the Product Hunt platform that could possibly help you with the launch.
This is what I have gathered so far.

Advanced PH Scrapper extracting data of launches into the charts
Hunted Space calendar & stats for upvotes, comments, upvote speed
Launchgrid something like a database of launches from PH & HN
Launchpedia kits (PH resources)
Product Hunt favourites extension for bookmarking
Product Hunt trending overview of successful launches (ranking)
Product Wars upvotes, comments, speed stats

If you know more, feel free to share.
