Ipfs-desktop: New name! Propose and vote in your favourite! Date of decision is Dec 30, 2017

Created on 21 Dec 2017  路  7Comments  路  Source: ipfs-shipyard/ipfs-desktop

It has dawned on us that IPFS Station is not the best name for this project. _IPFS Station_ doesn't communicate what this repo is about and it also doesn't get better when we announce an update on twitter, IRC or Reddit about the latest _IPFS Station_.

With this in mind and similar to what we did to find a name for IPFS Compation, we open this issue to welcome name proposals and encourage everyone to vote on what they like the most. We will use the proposals and that feedback to pick the new name.

Please submit your proposals by creating a _separate comment per proposal_ and give votes with 馃憤 馃憥 on that comment.

Keep IPFS Station

IPFS App

Voted 馃憥 on IPFS App because it feels a tad too generic. IPFSdroid is also an IPFS app, and in a slightly different context, any app built with IPFS is an IPFS app.

IPFS Desktop

IPFS Commander

I also want to provide another perspective cf. @lgierth that many Mac apps are Something.app (e.g., Calculator.app, Calendar.app) but outside of built-in Apple apps, I rarely see it used (e.g., one doesn't say, "VLC.app" . IPFS Desktop is good and expresses the desktop interface...even though Station is a task-/menu-bar based interface.

We have a winner 馃弳
