Neovim was launched in 2014, Movim in 2009 :) But yeah I got a few people that told me that that it was a vim fork or something related. Actually the name contains IM (we have the mov.im domains as well). Originally the name is an acronym (My Open Virtual Identity Manager) but was lately abandoned to keep only the main name.

> we have the mov.im domains as well I don’t know to what extent the name Movim confuses people, but when I read the name in the title of this post, before I read the rest I too expected something related to vim. If rebranding it as Mov.im is an option, since you already own that domain name, I suggest considering doing so. Though I guess there is a risk then that people think of the QuickTime file format instead? I don’t know what impact such a rebranding would have on search results rankings but among all possible rebrandings, if any were to be considered, I would think it would have the least impact at least. And also would involve a low amount of work since other domain names and such still make sense.
