I realize you may already be locked-in on the name, but you should probably be aware that Pine64 have an upcoming pair of ear buds called PinePods as well. So not just another project with the same name, but another FOSS-community project, to boot.
This seems like an awesome project though. As a fellow Rustacean, it excites me to see.
Ugh.. It is unfortunate isn't it.. Here's the history of the name.
I started development on Pinepods back when I was learning about python's fastapi. It originally was built in pure python. And as you can probably imagine the UI was dog slow because python isn't exactly fast. At that point it was called Pypods. Because python. I wanted to then change the name away from being a reference to a programming language. Only the nerdiest people would get that, plus I wanted it to have it's own identity instead of being tied to a language. So I went with Pinepods, which itself is a reference to the pine snake (kept the snake thing despite moving away from python) and at that point I started adopting the forest theme. Which is why if you visit try.pinepods.online you'll see rotating images of pine forests.
At this point, it's been over a year and I've invested somewhat in the tree/forest idea. I would struggle to move away from it because I love the forest undertones.
Changing the name is feasible. And might be a good idea. It kinda stinks I'd need to change the domains along with it but I suppose it is what is there. The challenge that I struggle with is coming up with something that keeps the forest theming. I really like that aspect of it.
