I really don't like the name. Since you expanded on your languages that you are going to teach it doesn't really make sense to use Py since nearly every Python project uses the phrase to say its in Python. Also, you are going to have people that are looking for PyPy and finding your App and getting confused.
- derektlo 9y agoActually, we've found the name Py doesn't confuse users. Most associate it with the number Pi, giving it an academic feel.
- mrstone 9y agoDon't you think you're doing yourself a disservice by being difficult to search for?
- bpicolo 9y agoThey're the very first google result for "py" for me right now.
- codefined 9y agoNot for me, not even on the first page; Py Music, PyPy, Python all come before it.
- soneca 9y agoFWIW For me first page has only sites from Paraguay (.py TLD). Second page start with their App Store, then their Techcrunch article and then Play Store. Nothing about Python before their app though.
- xapata 9y agoGoogle knows me too well. The search rankings differ per user.

- tennien 9y agoWe changed our domain from py-app.com to downloadpy.com a couple days ago, so if you don't see us first this is probably why. Our old domain ranked consistently first.
- Hoshea 9y agoFor what it's worth, I assumed this would be an app focused on teaching Python.
- taylorcooney 9y agoI second this
- tennien 9y agoKeep in mind many of our users don't even know python. We answer about 200+ questions every day in our in-app chat, and we've yet to hear someone get confused.
- nautilus12 9y agoAgreed
- indexzer0 9y agoYes, but I'm going to wager that y'all are programmers already. Seeing as that's likely who reads these. For people learning, they'd be less picky or even knowledgeable on such relations. I actually like the name. Besides, git means a disliked person and that's a thing. Words are created and shifted all the time. From what I can tell Py is already popular enough, it's the 4th hit for me on Google, that alone is reason enough to not change the name.

- inputcoffee 9y agoAgreed. I would just like the OP but since you can't see the like count, it is valuable feedback to see how many people find the name confusing. I also assumed it was python focused.
