They should rename it to WebPackJetPack, or WPJetpack for short. That will reduce confusion, right?

WPJetpack is even more confusing as WP is a prefix used for a lot of WordPress plugins...

That's the joke he's making, they chose a name that needs to be said in full to avoid confusion because all abbreviations will just lead to more confusion

Hey just fyi in case you don't know, jetpack[1] is the name of a very well known wordpress plugin by Automatic. Might cause some confusion. [1] https://wordpress.org/plugins/jetpack/

Searching for “jetpack” in a fresh —no cookies— browser session returns:

https://jetpack.com/

https://twitter.com/jetpack

https://wordpress.org/plugins/jetpack/

Which are the canonical URLs for JetPack, by Automatic.

KidkArolis will have a hard time promoting his project.

---

My suggestion for KidkArolis is to rename his project to one fo these:

• “ConvePack” considering the slogan “Webpack made more convenient”

• “WrapPack” considering the description “Jetpack wraps webpack”

• “SimplePack” assuming his project is simpler than WebPack

There are a lot of "configuration-free" Webpack solutions popping up. The one thing that they all have in common is optional configuration.

If you want something truly configuration-free you could try Meteor. It's mostly an advanced zero-configuration (not even optional) build tool these days that supports automatic code splitting via dynamic imports, full npm integration, multiple bundles (old/new browsers), ... Typescript support could be better, but I believe they're working on that.

Of course being zero-config you loose some flexibility.

I had very similar critic of "server js", but with enough backlinks and a bit of time it seems to be solved. Though it's not exactly the same, in my case it was because of "noise", in this case it'd because of a competing brand. I'd say keep jetpack to see how it turns out, they are vastly different projects.
