There's not really a way to put this nicely, but vore is a terrible name. If you don't know, it's a surprisingly popular fetish category and not something I would ever want to type into a search engine.

Open source is increasingly a kink friendly space where people are encouraged to let their freak flag fly. See also, e.g., cargo-mommy: https://github.com/Gankra/cargo-mommy

I bet most people who don't frequent tumblr/reddit et al don't have the slightest idea of what "vore" is. The internet is pretty large, and humans are pretty clueless on average.

It's fair to be clueless, but not even googling a name before deciding to use it for your project is foolish.

Oh they googled it alright.

Until they search for "Vore feeder" and arrive at very unexpected results. The welcome of those results may vary from person to person, though.

You've convinced me that's actually a good name

Well. Somehow (or for some reason), GIMP managed to get away with it. Though, the next crudest software name which comes to mind is "Git".

The comments in this thread are amazing, especially with the HN guideline of, "Please don't pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Find something interesting to respond to instead."

Not everything that someone writes or builds adjacent to technology that's provided for free has to be useful in professional contexts.

If the name is the only thing that you can focus on, try to have some fun with it.

You certainly don't have to use Vore, but if you do decide to use it AND you enjoy puns and other wordplay, I believe you're also obligated by circumstance to consume the Reader's Digest RSS feeds [0] too.
