Searching for anything about this project will be a nightmare. It's not too late to change the name.
- Tade0 7y agoThis almost begs for some solution where you could buy names previously checked by the system to be appropriately uncommon.
- psychometry 7y agoJust search Github for existing projects. Easy.
- lucideer 7y agoDoing this will likely exclude a lot of perfectly suitable names: a name needn't be a uuid, just distinct enough from well-known names. That's hard to tell in GH search; stars only give a good indication for very popular projects.
- hombre_fatal 7y agoNode.js isn't some niche project in the Javascript space that they accidentally collided with.
- danShumway 7y agoAgreed. I think the moment you have "not to be confused with" listed anywhere on your homepage, it's probably time to change the name, no matter what you're building.
- matz1 7y agoI'm hoping it is intentional, just to mess with people confused with nodejs.
- maratumba 7y agoHow about "knodes"?
- quickthrower2 7y agoGo Greek I say: κόμβους kómvous or k5s!
- alpaca128 7y agoThat sounds like a mix between nodes and the german Knoten. I like it, it's just a small change but would definitely reduce problems.
