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.

Come on

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

It's not great.

It's perfect.

A sure way to guarantee that Apple won't buy your startup.

Why not? Isn't it in fashion to not take yourself too seriously these days?

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.

Yes, but why couldn't it also be a product name. For example, an express delivery service focused on people who are willing to pay a premium to get TP within an hour.

Now, writing this comment had me finally realize that TP, however we mock the hoarders, really is almost unique in its urgency for most people. If you run out of food, you probably have a few hours before you get hungry again. Running out of TP is acutely uncomfortable right from that minute.

i need this except for delivery windows on wholefoods and amazon fresh

seriously, I see prime now deliveries getting to my neighbors, how are they getting a delivery window? I haven't seen one in two weeks. I don't even really need it anymore, my wife and I just check for fun.
