Extension-squatting warning? #482

Closed SeaDude closed 2 years ago

SeaDude commented 2 years ago

Just a heads up, it seems someone is squatting your extension name "Peacock". (Or maybe they came first and you duplicated their extension name :) )

You may consider adding 3a. Ensure that publisher is John Papa" to the /docs/guide/README.md doc.

Old SO post mentioning this:

Thanks - I am not sure what action you are suggestng. Would you be interested in making a PR ?

I was suggesting you may add the text: "3a. Ensure that publisher is John Papa" to your /docs/guide/README.md doc so that new users don't get mixed up with the other extension also named "Peacock". What you end up doing is completely up to you. This ticket is all I have time for atm.

Great extension! It comes highly recommended!
