I'm not normally one to carp about product names—there was a semi-jokey discussion about calling a shared-viewing product 'Covideo' that bothered some people, but I didn't think it was such a big deal—but surely we can do better than this?

Oh, well. As always with open source, it's my place to be grateful for the work you share (thank you!), not to complain about your not doing it on my terms.

This isn't a product, this is someones spare time non commercial open source project that they're sharing for other developers to use. If the name bothers you just clone the repo and change it.

I dare you to come up with a better name. This is great.

That's a fair point. I did say it's my place to be grateful, not to carp (but I did also carp).
