- throwaway290 3y agoI wonder what thought process causes authors to go for name collision instead of something like p2pshell which is more descriptive and has zero google results... Neat tool, however.
- MrOwnPut 3y agoWell for this project, it uses technology from the hypercore protocol (formerly known as DAT). https://github.com/hypercore-protocol https://github.com/hypercore-protocol
- florbo 3y agoI guess the lesson here is you don't have to use any of the technologies in the project as part of the project name if you don't want to. Especially if the namespace is already somewhat saturated. For my next project, TCPHTTPHTMLCSSJSLinuxAlpineContainerGCPGKEBlog...
- MrOwnPut 3y agoBut the company who made this is also making the technologies in the project... Holepunchto is the company behind hyperprotocol, hypershell, hyperdrive, etc. So what's the lesson now?
- throwaway290 3y agoThat maybe they should find a new intern to do naming before they go and make the fourth HyperApp out there? One who could at least google first...
- MrOwnPut 3y agoRead the rest of the thread. Maybe HyperApp should trademark hyper, oh wait they weren't before hypertext/protocol and HN doesn't like copyright :) I guess we would look at who was "first", but do you know who was? Or is it a weight of first and most popular? How is "popular" determined? Oh dang, this is getting tricky isn't it?
- throwaway290 3y agoReread the thread starter. All those preexisting hyper things have nothing to do with this company, that's not the point. And of course they're free to name their stuff after anything else they like, it's not a tricky question, it's just... weird? stupid? seo-manipulative? I don't know honestly, all I know is they had a more descriptive name at their disposal that had zero hits and they they passed on it.
- MrOwnPut 3y agoWhat is your point? How many uses of a prefix can the industry have before it meets your requirement of having to move on? 1, 2, 3, 5? IMO people can name things whatever they want and can legally and people will remember whatever they need to.
- throwaway290 3y ago> what's your point I already said, they had a perfectly descriptive name but they chose the one easily confusable with 5 other things, I am curious to know their thought process. And what's yours?
- deafpolygon 3y agoYou forgot to put Hyper in there.
- RobotToaster 3y agoYou mean TCPHTTPHTMLCSSJSGNU/LinuxAlpineContainerGCPGKEBlog, right?

- brirec 3y agoYou forgot HyperTerminal (which is still available as a commercial product, by the way!) https://www.hilgraeve.com/hyperterminal/ https://www.hilgraeve.com/hyperterminal/
- jamesrom 3y agoOh yeah! How could I forget! Added.
- justsomehnguy 3y agoWow. Expected a site from 90s, got a magazine from 90s. Nice.
- gabereiser 3y agothere was a hypercloud.network at some point too.
