Sry i het send too early :/ I am open to other name suggestions if that is still too close / generic. I will definitely adjust the release as well (i think it is in the PR as well), i will hold off for now with merging the PR, if there is a better proposal for a name. Thanks a lot for your help, i appreciate it a lot and thx for the chat room link.
