Please come up with a better name. Less the CSS processor is a play on the ending of CSS. The unix command less is a play on the more command, which is a clever but descriptive name. This would be a play on Less, which is a play on CSS. Also more has been around a really long time, years before less. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/More_(command) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/More_(command)
- kmontrose 15y agoNaming's hard, and sort of pointless to obsess over for a programming tool IMO. Especially when the conflicting tool literally predates the web (and me, for that matter). Of course, if a better name presents itself I'll run with it.
- bprater 15y agoThe real issue is this: if I Google 'more', I'm less likely to find what I want than if I search for 'MoreCSS' (or similar). And you'd also be surprised just how a name can click in people's minds. "MightyMouse" feels much cooler than "More". Ask 5 of your friends to come up with 5 names and then pick from the best of the 25 you get back. BTW, awesome project, love the sprite work!
- shali 15y agoYeah, the spriting here is interesting... I'm a fan of the spriting with compass (SASS/SCSS alternative). Could be a good guide as you're improving this. Check it out: http://compass-style.org/help/tutorials/spriting/ http://compass-style.org/help/tutorials/spriting/

- Sivart13 15y agoIt is absolutely not pointless. Just because it's hard doesn't make it pointless. Naming matters a ton if you want people to adopt your thing.
