  They should rename it to WebPackJetPack, or WPJetpack for short. That will reduce confusion, right?
  • gitgud 8y ago
    WPJetpack is even more confusing as WP is a prefix used for a lot of WordPress plugins...
    • vxNsr 8y ago
      That's the joke he's making, they chose a name that needs to be said in full to avoid confusion because all abbreviations will just lead to more confusion

  Yes, my first thought was this post was WP related. (and then I actually read the link. ;) )

  Searching for “jetpack” in a fresh —no cookies— browser session returns: • https://jetpack.com/ https://jetpack.com/ • https://twitter.com/jetpack https://twitter.com/jetpack • https://wordpress.org/plugins/jetpack/ https://wordpress.org/plugins/jetpack/ Which are the canonical URLs for JetPack, by Automatic. KidkArolis will have a hard time promoting his project. --- My suggestion for KidkArolis is to rename his project to one fo these: • “ConvePack” considering the slogan “Webpack made more convenient” • “WrapPack” considering the description “Jetpack wraps webpack” • “SimplePack” assuming his project is simpler than WebPack

    I had very similar critic of "server js", but with enough backlinks and a bit of time it seems to be solved. Though it's not exactly the same, in my case it was because of "noise", in this case it'd because of a competing brand. I'd say keep jetpack to see how it turns out, they are vastly different projects.

    What about rocketpack, to fit its current naming theme? Or spiderpack? Netpack? Silkpack?
  • ksec 8y ago
    OR JustPack? I remember one of the main Goal of WebPack 5 was sane defaults. ( I cant find the post anymore ) So hopefully the WebPack team can learn a lot from JetPack.

  It's also a tool for Android development.

  It certainly confused me. I even read the title as "Jetpack - Wordpress made more convenient" simply because my expectation had been set.
