The name is rather unfortunate as there is already a software project with that name: Sanic, Python async web framework. https://github.com/huge-success/sanic

- mistahchris 7y agoYes. At first I thought they were related.
- mfkp 7y agoAlso the Sanic the Hedgehog meme: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/sanic-hegehog https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/sanic-hegehog
- andrewstuart2 7y agoPretty sure they're both based on the meme. Go fast and all that.
- mfkp 7y agoIt makes a lot more sense with the web framework linked above. I don't see the connection with this new Sanic.
- langitbiru 7y agoI think it's fine as long as they are not in the same basket (one is web framework, one is devops tool). If not, finding unique name is really hard. You have to use verbose name (Sanicotobarto, A CLI for Kubernetes) or use unicode (could you imagine Show HN: laughing-emoji laughing-emoji laughing-emoji web framework?). I am writing this comment because everytime I think about a good short name (probably using animal's name), it's already been taken. So there's that.
- KptMarchewa 7y agoThey are roughly in the same basket, as people using microframeworks are likely to deploy their apps on kubernetes.
- langitbiru 7y agoThat's a fair point.
