Find a better name for gtkWhats #3

Is GtkWhats a clear and cute name for this app?

ZanderBrown commented 4 years ago

Not really

gigitux commented 4 years ago

@ZanderBrown Any ideas?

It would be good to avoid including parts of the Whatsapp name to avoid potential trademark issues (similar to the icon issue mentioned in #4).

As for suggestions, personally I'd find it funny to lean into the shitty dad joke that is the original app's name and do someting like "Not Much". Alternatively you could also do something fairly random and add "for Whatsapp" to the name in app stores, like e.g. "Girens for Plex" does.

Thanks for your advice! I will take them into consideration 🙏

Here are some examples for similar apps in the Apple Store: https://www.apple.com/es/search/whatsapp?src=serp

For me (English is not my mother language) WhatsApp reminds the Budweiser commercial, so maybe Whassup, Wassuup, Wazzup or even WhosThere could be a possible name for this app

Install WhosThere for WhatsApp at Flathub!

Also, beware other open source projects had problems with WhatsApp Inc because of their app naming: https://www.fossmint.com/whatsapp-desktop-client-for-linux/ https://github.com/Enrico204/Whatsapp-Desktop

Youp?

Yes, youp!

In the next days I will release a new version with a lot of bugfix
