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?

    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!

    No, I like the name wefwef! It is a perfectly fine name, it’s unique to your project, granting you immediate recogniza- and googlability, and honestly, I don’t understand most people advocating for a change. God forbid we had an app or service name that was a bit fun and unique for once! No, let’s change the project name just as it’s getting popular, confusing everyone and hurting your Google rank, just to have another bland and boring name instead that’s completely forgettable and shared by hundreds of other things! Are most of these commenters, like, 12, and still at an age where it’s very very important that your friends perceive you as using only what’s a child’s idea of “cool” stuff? I honestly can’t think of any other reason. Name it Awesome Monster App then!

    So, no, in short keep it at wefwef! Lowercase and fun pronunciation and all! And for next year’s April Fool’s, announce a big name change, and then reveal that name to be “weewee”, just to fuck with all the haters. Wefwef is the best app/service name in years!

    Just my two cents.

      it stands for the app. that’s literally all it stands for. I don’t understand why that would be a bad thing though.

      I’d like to know what it stands for

      literally nothing. It’s a name I came up with out of pure laziness: it’s where my fingers rest on the keyboard and I can type it one-handed 😂

      why would people care about the name that much? to me it sounds like a linux CLI command. I mean, “grep” is a funky word too… but that doesn’t mean I won’t use grep when I have to pipe text around in the CLI! what a funny notion, honestly.

    I personally am down for the name change. Voyager sounds much more iconic and is easier to pass on verbally than wef wef. It’s also better to make such a change as early as possible to avoid confusion for newcomers.

        why? what’s bad about calling something wefwef? it’s just a few repeating sounds. seriously I don’t get it.

    I like Voyager since it’s a web app too, like it can “voyage” to any platform. Or even referring to federation, you can “voyage” between instances.

      It’s also completely boring, derivative, and not unique in ans way. There’s hundreds of things called Voyager, from space probes over (space) ships to night clubs and mythological beings and… just no. Wefwef on the other hand is great, it’s unique, it’s fun, it’s easily pronounceable, but most of all, it’s memorable.
