I've heard a lot of people want to change app names. Which I'm totally fine with! I've heard a lot of love for the name "Voyager"

So, thoughts? Do you prefer renaming? Do you like the name "Voyager"? Any other good ideas?

Comment below!

Another vote for Voyager.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Maybe we should come up with a new names and put them up for votes.

I can say right now that I don’t like Voyager, haha!

wefwef is unique as an identity and the all lowercase styling makes it even more so.

I vote for wefwef and hopes it remains that way!

Voyager Just sound too generic... Maybe Weffy?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Voyager does sound cool, and fits the theme of what you’re going for.

But other people mentioning discoverability has me leaning towards keeping the name wefwef. Or come up with an equally unique name.

Am I the only one who doesn't know what wefwef stands for?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I believe the Dev said it isn’t an acronym, it’s just where he found his hands placed on his keyboard one day, the WEF keys.

I did ask GPT-4 to make an acronym for it anyways, and got:

W- Web

E- Enhanced

F- Fediverse

W- Webapp

E- Explorer

F- Framework

How about Fluffy for Lemmy

What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Maybe look and see whether there are other apps by the name first to avoid collision. Seems likely to be a common name.

Voyager sounds like an excellent name mate, much easier to tell new people. "hey Reddit is shit, download voyager instead"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Reddit is a dumb name. Silly/dumb names work IMO.

Voyager goes well with the influx of refugees needing a new home

I don't see anything wrong with wefwef, it just looks like a modern nonsense brand-word and easy to remember too. My wife commented that it reminded her of WOOF from the office

will there be a wefwef/voyager for android?

I don't think should is the right word. I personally don't like the name much as it somehow sounds just off-putting to me (it doesn't read like a puppy sound, maybe because I am not a native English speaker). And there is clearly something to it as this is the only app where people are discussing changing the name. Even Jerboa seems to be safe from it even though the name sounds a bit weird.

Voyager seems way nicer and professional to me.
