This is an early project so I think changing the name isn't to late

vuido isn't sounding that great, I mean it looks ugly and is scratching my ears when somebody is saying it

I have some ideas for the new name:

If someone has other ideas let's vote them

I'm absolutely open for ideas, though Vuido sounds quite good for me 😄. Maybe we pronounce it differently?

I thought about libui-vue for a while, but I didn't want to use a generic name like this, for the same reasons Electron is not called chromium-desktop, for example. Vuetron came to my mind too, but it's already used.

Node-Webkit started with a generic name, and it sucked, and it locked them into very specific technologies so they couldn't grow. The first version was a combination of Node and Webkit, but every version since has used Chromium. And then for a while there they switched to IO.js, so it should have been called IO.js-Chromium instead of Node-Webkit. It was at that time they changed the name, sadly, to NW.js. They could have picked a name that wasn't terrible, but unfortunately programmers instead of marketers got to pick. So now they're stuck with a new, somehow even worse name, of seven-sylable, 4 letter, NW.js. But now, it stands for "Native Web". Woopdiedoo

Meanwhile, the intern that was working on NW.js gets hired by GitHub to make a bad knock off of it so they can use it to make a bad knock off of Sublime Text called Atom. Because they are also stupid they let programmers name it and it is called "Atom-Shell". Fortunately there are marketers working for GitHub who hear this, and come down to slap the programmers in the face and say "NO! BAD!" and they rename it to "Electron" and give it a new logo and website. Then they tell the programmers to put documentation on the website. But the programmers are stupid and lazy, so, similar to Electron itself, they just copy and paste the documentation from NW.js's wiki, and use "Find and replace" to make it say Electron instead of "Node-Webkit" or "NW.js". Fortunately they kept all the bad Engrish though. A year goes by and the Intern who made the knock off called Electron gets his own intern who's job it is to make the documentation not suck. Sadly, no one makes Electron not suck.

The End.


My point is, learn from their mistakes. Don't let a programmer name your app something shitty like literally any of @vieruu's recommendations. Vuido is perfectly acceptable of a name.
