This is a very bad name for a product.
- bscript 2y agoYou might be right. My focus wasn't on the name; I just wanted to create something useful for my day-to-day job and share it with others. The goal was never to commercialize the product … so maybe that’s why the name was bad!
- sclangdon 2y agoHe may be referring to the fact that it could be pronounced Auschwitz. I must admit, my immediate thought on reading the name was "why would someone name their app after a concentration camp?"
- bscript 2y agowow, I learned something new today
- dgb23 2y agoI had the same reaction. Even just a hyphen between like aws-viz would probably do wonders.
- zarzavat 2y agoYes I think any minor tweak would remove the effect. awsvizul, vizaws, awsvista. It’s just a bit too on the nose at present.
- arresin 2y agoThis is also what I immediately saw and heard also.
