The naming of this project clashes horribly with https://github.com/hyperhype/hyperscript https://github.com/hyperhype/hyperscript. It's not like it's in a different ecosystem or something. It is a web project that is guaranteed to cause confusion.

- richeyryan 4y agoThe original Hyperscript still gets talked about, at least in the React and Solid communities and if only in conversations about the relative merits of different rendering methods. I wouldn't feel comfortable naming a project Zepto today. Why muddy the waters unnecessarily?
- JohnDeHope 4y agoI'll admit those aren't my circles, so if I'm wrong to say the older project never hit critical mass, I'm sorry.
- SahAssar 4y agoHyperscript still has mindshare as a syntax even though it doesn't as a project. It is often an (sometimes indirect) inspiration for syntaxes used by microframeworks.

- mminer237 4y agoNot saying this directly applies, but under the Lanham Act, nonuse of a trademark for three consecutive years is prima facie evidence of abandonment.
