TIL, thanks for the source! I really liked chakra and used it as influence when writing my own UI library - funny seeing that typo in the readme!
Seems like ‘fannypack’ went to ‘bum-bag’ as its successor. I wonder how much naming has to do with popularity of libraries, and if chakra took off because it was more appealing to larger tech companies. Satirical names never seem to get too big from what I’ve seen.
- OJFord 3y agoSeems just like a survivorship/small sample bias to me, I'm sure I've had the thought that it's funny X is used at such and such places with a name like that before. But such naming is niche, and a new project making it big like that is too. I'm sure it would make for an awkward conversation getting it approved, but ultimately it doesn't really matter does it. Funding/sponsorship on the other hand, I can definitely see it being a consideration.
