That's... not terrible. Biff isn't exactly popular (yet?), so a name change isn't out of the question. Both of those names (and `biff`) are already taken on crates.io. Which is maybe not a huge problem. IDK. Naming is hard.
- Terretta 5mo agohttps://crates.io/search?q=bttf https://crates.io/search?q=bttf // backronym bttf stands for biff time to format
- burntsushi 5mo agoI like this
- christoff12 5mo agoalso: back to the future
- hnlmorg 5mo agoThis is the fastest rebranding after a Show HN I think I’ve seen haha
- burntsushi 5mo agoYou win the naming contest. The project has been renamed: https://github.com/BurntSushi/bttf/pull/14 https://github.com/BurntSushi/bttf/pull/14
- burntsushi 5mo ago@dang - Could you update the post title please to say "bttf" instead of "Biff"? Thank you!

- burntsushi 5mo agoI did. I always do. I just missed this one. Or if I saw it, it didn't register for me and felt like it was just an old archaic tool. Which... is probably still true, but I under-estimated its mindshare. Just an honest unknown unknown.
