- aaronbrethorst 6y agostdlib means something to you and me, but to a broader audience it may suggest that it’s where you might go to learn more about chlamydia.
- keithwhor 6y ago... this too, though most people we met were polite enough to not argue this point too aggressively. :)
- aaronbrethorst 6y agoI mean, it's too bad: I like the name stdlib.com.
- edoceo 6y agoOof, I didn't even think of that
- cossatot 6y agosharelatex.com (a LaTeX collaboration site) shared the same issue.
- keithwhor 6y agoWe couldn't find a commercial model for stdlib.com alone; which means we couldn't support a team to build it. We learned that we needed to be able to provide significant value upfront instead of asking developers to rely on an unproven standardization scheme.
