Wait I wasn't aware this was a product in the first place but isn't it really kind of scummy to try and namesquat on a famous piece of software that's well over 50 years old and available on practically every computer or device in operation?
- jsnell 2y agoScummy, but it also seems pretty stupid. You need extremely specific search terms to find any pages about this app rather than about real grep. Like, if you're making a search app and the first page of web search results for "<app name> search" doesn't find it, it's not a good name.
- ysavir 2y agoI wouldn't say scummy so much as just short sighted and selfish. I can see someone excitedly naming something after something similar, as homages are made all the time, and not stopping to think whether it's just polluting the namespace.
