Do you see Product Hunt as a directory (listing of products) or as a community?

Besides seeing it as a meeting and sharing ideas platform for entrepreneurs from all over the world, it is a wonderful feature that it is a common platform for the promotion of products!

Mainly as a community. Look at products more when they come up in the discussions. Only occasionally at the products tab
