What should we name this project? #2

Closed TrevorFSmith closed 6 years ago

TrevorFSmith commented 6 years ago

I called the repo 'xr-input' to get us started, but @fernandojsg pointed out that this will be used outside of WebXR so 'xr' might be off-putting and confusing.

I'd like the name to be somewhat unique so that people can find it via a search engine.

So, add your name ideas on this Issue.

TrevorFSmith commented 6 years ago

We could continue with the animal themes like Firefox and Crow.

fernandojsg commented 6 years ago

I always prefer simple names for this kind of "secondary/tools" library so you don't need to learn the name and read the description to know what is about, so my bet goes for input.js (yeah I know I'm not that original :D)

eg: if you see the dependencies of a project, you could guess what they're about

TrevorFSmith commented 6 years ago

The main purpose of the project is to map inputs to actions, so maybe "input-action-mapper.js"?

johnshaughnessy commented 6 years ago

+1 for something to do with actions and inputs

fernandojsg commented 6 years ago

I agree +1 for input, actions, mappings, ...

TrevorFSmith commented 6 years ago

Ok, unless anyone objects today, I'll rename the repo and main lib to input-action-mapper.js

immput.js: an input manager for your Immersive web pages

(I’m only kidding…)

(Edit: maybe not…)

fernandojsg commented 6 years ago

@TrevorFSmith we could just leave the issue open for few days and then decide, not everyone will be monitoring it daily :D

netpro2k commented 6 years ago

Of the above I like input.js but I agree "action" should be in the name somehow, though I don't particularly love "input action mapper", that sounds more like an intermediate library. action-input.js heh

TrevorFSmith commented 6 years ago

@fernandojsg I'm pretty sure that everyone who cares to weigh in has already been bothered by my constant slack comments and nudges. :-) Since this lib is nobody's main project, I expect that lots of decisions will be made by the people who volunteer to do the work and we'll just recover when we get it wrong. I mean, I named it wrong to begin with!

TrevorFSmith commented 6 years ago

We could split the difference and call it "inaction.js"! 😆

TrevorFSmith commented 6 years ago

Ok, after much discussion we settled on action-input.js as the library name.

cvan commented 6 years ago

I'm actually serious about Immput.js. no? 😆
