consider changing the name of this package #242

As the title suggests, it's not really a bug or a problem with the code... But the current name is too close to reactflow, causing Google and ChapGPT/Bard to provide answers/results relevant to reactflow instead of this package.

Also, the differences between this package and reactflow aren't emphasized enough in the readme file. here are two differences I can think of right now:

  1. pro: this library layout makes sure edges won't appear above nodes.
  2. con: this library won't allow you to drag nodes freely.

I apologize beforehand if this suggestion causes any discomfort 💓

I appreciate your thoughtful input on this however this is not a possibility at this time. Seo, branding, domains, docs would all take considerable amounts of time to update. We love react-flow and I know the lead developer quite well - it's a great project and recommend if this one doesn't fit your needs.

hi @amcdnl, this project is amazing and works better for my needs :)

it's really not that easy to rename a project at that point, although it was done in the past even by renaming react-flow-renderer to reactflow.

I guess you are also familiar with the problem I've described... image
