I've heard a lot of people want to change app names. Which I'm totally fine with! I've heard a lot of love for the name "Voyager"

So, thoughts? Do you prefer renaming? Do you like the name "Voyager"? Any other good ideas?

Maybe look and see whether there are other apps by the name first to avoid collision. Seems likely to be a common name.

Wefwef is a silly name - sent by wefwef

I honestly don’t care what it’s called. I have no idea what wefwef means or even how to pronounce it. I appreciate the work done to make it for us though.

My vote for wefwef since it‘s unique and snappy.

Someone already owns voyager.com - naming a product can be difficult these days as most common names are taken.

Apollo went by many different names if you wanna go down that route: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo#Greco-Roman_epithets

I personally am down for the name change. Voyager sounds much more iconic and is easier to pass on verbally than wef wef. It’s also better to make such a change as early as possible to avoid confusion for newcomers.

What about Lappy?

It's similar to Lemmy, but with 'app' in the middle.

Apollos chief epithet, Phoebus is my vote. Though it seems to only be common among the ancients.

Voyager, Vger 🖖, Delphi

You absolutely should. The new name is much better!

Voyager Just sound too generic... Maybe Weffy?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Voyager does sound cool, and fits the theme of what you’re going for.

But other people mentioning discoverability has me leaning towards keeping the name wefwef. Or come up with an equally unique name.

will there be a wefwef/voyager for android?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's a web app, not platform specific. Just go to wefwef.app with your preferred browser and add it to your home screen.

Commenting from wefwef PWA on Android :)

Works great, can't wait for the Android material theme to be available so that it fits right in with all my other apps!
