Good thing they picked up a unique name that won't collide with any other similar named projects.

- AnkhMorporkian 11y agoThey obviously did some type checking on the name[1]. I'm sure they Squared up the UI elements while they were developing it[2]. The moments before launch must have been pretty tense though[3]. I just hope this service supports file uploads[4]. 1. https://github.com/facebook/flow https://github.com/facebook/flow 2. https://github.com/square/flow https://github.com/square/flow 3. https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow 4. https://github.com/flowjs/flow.js https://github.com/flowjs/flow.js
- toyg 11y agoThey probably used FTP while developing [5] and a lot of online chatting [6]. [5] http://fivedetails.com/flow/ http://fivedetails.com/flow/ [6] https://www.getflow.com/apps/ https://www.getflow.com/apps/
- chris_wot 11y agoTo get it done, they would have used project management [7] whilst management decided on EDI integration suites. [8] 7. https://www.getflow.com https://www.getflow.com 8. http://www.flowsoftware.com http://www.flowsoftware.com
- vehementi 11y agoDo you think they were a little bitter about Slack and probably used a competitor [9] instead? 9. https://www.flowdock.com/ https://www.flowdock.com/

- NetStrikeForce 11y agoYeah, because (Apple) Pages or (Google) Docs or (Apple|Google|Yahoo) Mail or (Google) Cloud are unique names. You could argue all these add their brand in front of the name, like this case exactly. :-)
- mistermann 11y agoI wish when companies picked these common names that they would also define a ~unique search team for people to use, ie: "when discussing on forums please use msflow" or something like that.
- georgehotelling 11y agoSomeone should send a Lync message to them about writing a Linq query to find all the links for projects with similar names.
- seang 11y agoI'm glad someone else thought this. Almost seems like an elaborate ruse to hide the other flows. Or for their service to never be found again.
