Fae.jl in Julia Registries (I need a new name) #68

Closed leios closed 1 year ago

leios commented 1 year ago

So I can't register Fae.jl in the Julia registry because it's only 3 characters. I tried Fable.jl #67 , but that also won't work because it's to close to other names. To check whether a repo name is valid, I've been using the following script: https://github.com/JuliaCI/PkgTemplates.jl/issues/292#issue-882774743

So far, I have a small list:

  1. Faebl -- Fractal Animation Engine By Leios
  2. Aesop -- The Animation Engine (with sop at the end for some reason)
  3. Dactyl -- Just my favorite meter when writing
  4. Quibble / Squibble -- A nice name
  5. Chiaki -- A nice name. People in Julia tend to name their packages after people names
  6. Heleios -- Hutchinson Engine by Leios (follows from other Leios themed projects like Scribbleios, Rambleios, Simuleios, etc)
  7. Symbae -- The SYMbolic Animation Engine

The other option is just not to put it in the official registries. When I think about it, it's kinda weird to put in the repos. I mean, people won't need it the same way they might need KernelAbstractions, CUDA, LinearAlgebra, etc. I could also imagine creating a Fae-specific registry with a bunch of predefined objects or different rendering methods.

I guess for now, I'll make a few videos and keep the code in "beta" until we can make a decision. Happy to hear opinions on names!
