Show HN: Emerge, a page load coordinator, adds video support
- thealistra 10y agoName collision with emerge, the Gentoo package manager. If this is an early stage of the project, you may think about a more unique name. https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Portage#emerge https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Portage#emerge
- ilyabirman 10y agoThanks. I think it’s fine :-)
- dagenleg 10y agoWell, it's for web-developers. Probably very little overlap with Gentoo users amongst them.
- microcolonel 10y agoI can tell you that there's a lot of overlap.
- pbiggar 10y agoThere may be a lot of web developers among gentoo users, but there are not a lot of gentoo users among web developers.
- rounce 10y agoWhy all the downvotes? Seems like a valid point.
- brudgers 10y agoThere's go.com, a game called 'Go'. Should Google change the name of its programming language? Probably not because there isn't any actual confusion. Not like between the synaptics package manager and the synaptiks touchpad utilities for Synaptics touchpads...and that's not that important because it causes confusion for a just handful of people and only for a brief period of time despite both being present on nearly every Linux system.
- electic 10y agoWhat is the cost of this? What if the first image does not download from the web server in time? It seems like it will halt the page rendering until it gets the correct sequence. Personally, it makes sense to have the page loading, even if it is out of order and not ideal. It indicates to the user something is happening and the user tends to be more patient.
- ilyabirman 10y agoGood point. I was thinking about adding give-up time-outs, but never got to doing it.
