I've heard a lot of people want to change app names. Which I'm totally fine with! I've heard a lot of love for the name "Voyager"

So, thoughts? Do you prefer renaming? Do you like the name "Voyager"? Any other good ideas?

Comment below!

I like the name, to be honest

Change it if you want but “Voyager” sounds like some corporate nothing app named by bean pushers and commitees.

Something like Voyager as suggested would be much more friendly to new users

Though personally I like both.

[–] Richard@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I prefer voyager, or even “voyage”.

Wefwef is a silly name - sent by wefwef

Am I the only one who doesn't know what wefwef stands for?

[–] Caketaco@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I believe the Dev said it isn’t an acronym, it’s just where he found his hands placed on his keyboard one day, the WEF keys.

I did ask GPT-4 to make an acronym for it anyways, and got:

W- Web

E- Enhanced

F- Fediverse

W- Webapp

E- Explorer

F- Framework

Reddit is a dumb name. Silly/dumb names work IMO.

Voyager sounds too generic. I like Wefwef

[–] tal@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Maybe look and see whether there are other apps by the name first to avoid collision. Seems likely to be a common name.

[–] garretble@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Voyager does sound cool, and fits the theme of what you’re going for.

But other people mentioning discoverability has me leaning towards keeping the name wefwef. Or come up with an equally unique name.

[–] goldenbug@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Voyager is nice. If we end up liking and using it a lot, we will give it a silly nickname.

Maybe we should come up with a new names and put them up for votes.

I can say right now that I don’t like Voyager, haha!

[–] TheFreed@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.

[–] Scheissberg@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

wefwef is unique as an identity and the all lowercase styling makes it even more so.

I vote for wefwef and hopes it remains that way!

I think wefwef is a silly name and I’m surprised that so many people in the comment section like it, because I find the name to be cringeworthy (sorry).

But of course, I will still continue to use this app regardless of what it’s called, just like I still use DuckDuckGo as my search engine, despite it having a ridiculous name lol.

[–] Laice@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

[–] eventidewatcher@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

+1 for Voyager, things are still young and evolving.
