Túlio you deserve some credit - Request to change extension name #176

Hey man, great work on the tool, I tried a few different ones before deciding yours was the one to use.

Here's the problem: When I randomly see and talk to people at different places and want to tell them to check it out, I'm like "uh.., yeah.. go google Json Viewer...". Then no one can find it because there are multiple Chrome extensions with the exact same name.

So if you changed the name I think more people could appreciate your work, because it'd be easier to find and spread. How about: Json Viewer by Team Tulios? I don't know, I'm not a marketing guy...any change would be fine.

Thanks, @whitneyland. It's super nice to receive some praise!

About the naming issue, when I chose this name back in 2013 there were no extensions called JSON-viewer. I think it is a very hard problem to solve, we have to move away from generic names :)
