Rename the application #14

Your application name is impossible to google. Try searching for help with 'app', or 'linux app', or anything like that and you'll not get anywhere near finding something, anything, even remotely useful.

I know you thought it was clever, and descriptive and all. It is, it's just that really common words like "the", "phone", and "app" don't make good names for things because they become impossible to find.

I really like your application, I really do. it's great, and I'll use it everywhere from now on, because of the level of standardization it provides. Truly useful. But, really badly named.

I agree that it's a bad name but it's not because I think it's clever. It's cause I am not that creative when it comes to naming. With that said, I am open to suggestions on what to rename app to. 🙏

Boring: Unified Package Manager (upm)

Creative: Human app manager (ham)

Questionable: Synchronize Modular Packages (symp)

Crazy: app-store-search (ass)

Seasonal: Santas Little Helper (slh)
