This does look excellent. I look forward to seeing how well it works on mobile. I wonder if there is any native ios / android implementation in the works? I would happily pay for both!
But the name? How am I supposed to pronounce it? I'm sorry to say this, but a name like this could be a serious impediment to getting widespread adoption. It's not as bad as calling it something like "flaming purple penis of death" but it's not that far off.
- shurane 13y agoIt's from the sequence of ["foo","bar","baz","qux", "quux", ...]. More info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metasyntactic_variable#English http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metasyntactic_variable#English Doesn't sound like a great name, but whatever. It's a placeholder at least.
- nakedrobot2 13y agoOh! Thanks for explaining. I had no idea.
- tome 13y agoI had no idea "qux" came before "quux". How embarrassing. It's like counting "one, two, three, five".
- vshabanov 13y agoMr.Reader and Feeddler supports BazQux on iOS. And there is a beta Android app from the author of gReader https://github.com/noinnion/newsplus https://github.com/noinnion/newsplus I'm not a native English (Russian in fact) and didn't knew that qux (or bazqux?) is unpronounceable. I'm reading it like Buzz-Cooks which sound somewhat funny in Russian. There are some advantages with this name. It's unique (very easy to find mentions) and always on top of alphabetical lists. And from what I'm seeing name is not that important if you have good product. But maybe I do some "rebranding" later.
