Time to get a better name. The name is the friction remaining that stops me from adopting this.

- jamwil 1y agoYa. Bit of a shame. It’s OP’s choice of course and I get that it’s kitschy or whatever but I think he’s leaving money on the table as a commercial product. If it were actually funny I think I’d feel different, but ironically calling a native mac app ‘exe’ just feels like a bad punchline that’s not going to land with anyone who understands the value proposition of the app in the first place.
- krzyzanowskim 1y agothere is open contest for different name. mind to chime in?
- jamwil 1y agoPersonally I think dropping the exe and just calling it notepad is the obvious low-hanging fruit. I like the nostalgic aesthetic—it’s refreshing in this age of cookie-cutter tailwindcss splash pages, but exe is just quite confusing.
- krzyzanowskim 1y agoNotepad++ is already taken. that's sad
- jamwil 1y agoOr ‘notepad.app’ would quite clearly convey that it is an editor in the spirit of notepad but for macOS.
