Consider change gotty name, there is another gotty and older software

[oneumyvakin]

Looks like http://gotty.io is dead, so not a problem any more.

Yes, I've been thinking a new name of gotty since I realized there had been another gotty, but unfortunately I've never come up with a good and simple enough name yet.

Somethings I came up with:

• ttygo
• g0tty
• yagt
• shtty

Proposal is welcome 👍

I was thinking this gotty is related to terminal (CLI, TTY) and web (WWW, HTTP). Some combinations could be:

• twi (Terminal Web Interface)
• thi (Terminal Http Interface)
• t2w (Terminal To Web)
• t2h (Terminal To Http)

or some combinations from your name:

• yai
• dai
• saki

I think shtty is hilarious, and gets my vote. +1!

[jetm]

Seeing 'shtty' as suggestion, I would not like to think in 'shitty'.

[haliphax]

It's tongue-in-cheek.

A quick check on github:

• goterm (3 repos with the same name)
• yagt - (3 repos)
• shtty - (1 repo)

My $0.02 I think you should hang onto the name, okay the guy has gotty.io, but look at how many stars 5k+, watches 164, forks 185 vs theirs 7, 4 and 4 on github.

Your software has a greater reach. Just needs more blogs and cross references in Github to improve it's ranking in search engines.

If you need a new name, how about gophertty or gopherterm?

It seems is not obvious, but sometimes figure out new names is hard. Thinking on some inspiration sources, e.g:

• A rare unknown/unused English word with some relation to the project or creator.
• Using a tool to combine known words to create new one, like: http://unique-names.com/word-mixer.php.

[haliphax]

The shtty repo is just a README with a single line of text, by the way -- no code, and it hasn't been touched in 8 months. That being said, yeah, I'd just stick with 'gotty'.

[jetm]

Stick with 'gotty' will bring problems for software packagers because will exist two binaries with same name. Each binary are from different projects.

Thanks for the information. Closing.
