How to change product handle on indie hackers? (feature request)

Reasoning: Products and ideas morph over time, this affects the choice of product handle.

I can create a new product, but then that will reset the history for that product. IMO it is more fascinating and interesting to fellow indie hackers to view the progression over time, including possible name changes.

P.S. I'm able to change the name and logo etc. - just not the handle. I envision this could work similar to twitter, if the handle is available, allow changing it.

    4 years later - this feature overlook makes me not want to even post on my Indie Hacker product profile. i'm contemplating deleting the product completely just to get the right handle. How is this still overlooked?

    Yep, been on my list of to-dos forever. I'll do it eventually, I promise!

      I've had to rebrand my product due to trademark issues. I'd love to update the URL slug, maybe even with a 301 redirect? Once is plenty IMO.

      Heya Courtland, I'm looking to change my product from "/screenlapse-io" to just "/screenlapse". Just putting an upvote for this feature here (unless you ever do it manually for folks). Thanks!

      Hi @csallen, I have the same request. I made a product, didn’t like the name and renamed it. I’d like to change its handle.

    Hi @csallen, so sorry to chuck this on your plate but we also would love to change the URL for a product we're working on. Is there any way it can be done manually right now? Thanks so much!
