I don't understand software projects called after random things. What does lip gloss do? What does glow and glamour do? Spinnaker does the same thing and it's just not easy to follow. Same questions for echo, rosco, deck and whatever other service they have. Why not call it charm-tui, charm-md, and spinnaker-ui, spinnaker-events, spinnaker-bakery. It would make understanding the software so much easier.
