I've heard a lot of people want to change app names. Which I'm totally fine with! I've heard a lot of love for the name "Voyager"

So, thoughts? Do you prefer renaming? Do you like the name "Voyager"? Any other good ideas?

Comment below!

I like Voyager a lot better than the current name.

Voyager sounds good, if I were making an Apollo like app I’d also be tempted to call it Starbuck or Athena.

Although if you want to stand out, I’d also like to throw Interface into the ring as it is the interface for Lemmy.

I'm loving wefwef on Safari on my MBP and on my iPhone as well. I think the name is quirky. Why would you want to change it?

Voyager is vastly superior as a name. I’m on wefwef right now, but the name did make me immediately question it :)

Otherwise awesome client so far!

Ya, when talking to mates IRL it sounded as if I am peddling some drug and not a lemmy client to them XD. I think WefWef can be an Easter egg type of thing where the dev can play around with the idea in the future. But it is too discouraging for casual reddit users.

Hmm, that could work.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

Absolutely. WTF is “wefwef”?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

1st vote would be Phoebus
2nd would be Voyager.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

Yes god yes! Anything but wefwef lol. Voyager sounds great.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why can’t we have both?

Wefwef Voyager or Voyager by wefwef

I like Voyager more than wefwef but I think we can do even better

Name is good woof woof haha

What about Artemis? the name of the new NASA moon missions

Since those and this app are a spiritual successor to Apollo

I like voyager. I’m for it.

The name wefwef is silly but that’s fine with me too. It’s probably silly because I don’t get it.

You could call it TitFart and I’d be stoked as fuck that it exists.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

I’d just shorten it to one wef

What about Lappy?

It's similar to Lemmy, but with 'app' in the middle.

Vote for Voyager.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, wefwef app is brilliant though! But the name puts people off for sure!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

why would people care about the name that much? to me it sounds like a linux CLI command. I mean, "grep" is a funky word too... but that doesn't mean I won't use grep when I have to pipe text around in the CLI! what a funny notion, honestly.

Voyager is nice

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 year ago

Voyager sounds amazing - huge improvement over the current name which sounds like an unfortunate but mildly irritating STD
