Like Libreddit, the name of the project includes the trademarked "Medium" so the project is in risk of trademark infringement. Pls rename the project

Scriptum ? keeps the recognizable -um and uses a recognizable word related to litterature.

LibLogos or ReLogos references the latin term of logos, a concept of rethoric. Would emphasize the quality of this frontend

I don't have a preference. I invite people to vote on names with a " :+1: ", if they like it. In the event of a tie, I'll flip a coin and declare the winner :p

Voting will be open till December 1, 2023.


edit: Tooted about it

Remediu is the romanian word for "remedy". i was searching for latin-sounding words and maybe this one, "healing" the user experience on Medium might help. very close to the original, with the typical re- you might find in other opensource alternatives.

Postcriptum as a variation of Scriptum, a popular word, with post- reminding it is a recreation of the original, (literaly mean after)

Scriptum ? keeps the recognizable -um and uses a recognizable word related to litterature.

"Remediu" wins the poll! Thanks for participating everyone, I'll rename the codebase over the weekend.
