    And abandoned within three weeks. Also does the same thing as at least a dozen other tools that already existed. But it has a snazzy name and a whole website like it’s something great, which it’s not.

      I don’t mind the “does the same thing”, I do that myself because I’ve been burned by single use tools becoming everything apps slowly. (*arr stack apps tend to do this…) My apps are just on GitHub and only for me.

      What I do mind is buying a domain and making a snazzy landing page for what is pretty much a weekend project. Oh and a Discord “community” with more channels than users.

        “Discord community” is the worst part. Even legit projects do that for no reason. “Uh, we don’t review bug reports submitted thru github, write a message to our discord” then why da fuck do you have a github in the first place?

          More importantly, I don’t use Discord and I am not going to sign up for a second account on top of GitHub or whatever just to interact with your project.

      Kinda shows what a good name/brand can do for a project. I like open source but my god the names for some of the projects are the worst.

      If we are commit years of our lives to a project maybe take more than a minute to come up with a name :/

        I find tech startup names far worse.

        Especially the ones where they just… spell something wrong, like Lyft or Grindr. (Not startups anymore, I know, but that’s how they got the name).

        But I wouldn’t mind if you convinced me otherwise with some good examples lol
