Confusing name because of the existence of pageant, the putty agent.
- kirth_gersen 7mo agoCame here to say missed opportunity to call it "PAgent". Rolls off the tongue better than Page Agent.
- simon_luv_pho 7mo agoI'm 2 years too late for that one...
- simon_luv_pho 7mo agoDarn. Pageant would've been a nice name though. Maybe `page-agent.js` is more relevant in web dev community.
- mmarian 7mo agoI think page agent is good. I've never heard of putty's pageant. And I think it's better to distinguish it from general meaning of pageant (for beauty).
- simon_luv_pho 7mo agoThanks!
- graypegg 7mo agoI think every successful Show HN post ends up with a "thought this was about X" or "didn't look up the name first?" comment. Consider it a win! I don't think anyone will mistake a tool for putty with your tool, but you might share a google search page with it.
