How we launched our MVP in 3 weeks

I'll just come right out and say it without any passive aggressive bull, but your product name is terrible. The first thing I that popped into my mind was "Meat Butter", then Lard and then Last Tango in Paris.

Revenue generating products live and die by their name/branding, this one for me would be dead in the water for professional use.

I also thought "Meat Butter", but my next associations after that are semen and lube. I often wonder whether more marketing departments should hire at least a couple of 13 year olds to pitch names to and then see if they laugh or not.

And I thought my mind was a sewer :)

Hey, Adam from MeetButter here (OP).

Oh no! Our branding was totally tongue-in-cheek, we felt that it was fun. But if it's conjuring negative images when you see it, that's totally bad! I'll feedback this to the rest of the team.

Hi Adam, hope you don't take it personally. If it was a FOSS project you'd probably get away with it (see: GIMP, Mastodon), and it'd be funny but might attract "the wrong crowd". For a commercial product I'd definitely think about a rename.
