I'm surprised they were able to take a well-known band name that's a made up word and name their project after it

  It's not a made-up word in my language.

    It is in the language of the band they took the name from and replicated the team/band photo from, though. https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/slint-spiderland-interview-1144942/ https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/slint-spid...

      They didn't take it from the band. Pretty sure the team photo was created as a response to everyone referencing the band. > The name comes from our design goals - Straightforward, Lightweight, Intuitive, Native Toolkit. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36389584 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36389584

        Oh that's interesting, would you be able to name your project The Beatles and make an Abbey Road team photo, or maybe Radiohead is a better example as it's not a real word, if you had a similar acronym ahead of time? Or is it just that Slint doesnt have the legal team of the Beatles? Genuinely curious how it works.
