Although not a fan of renaming good products (and I can't help think it will be a huge pain for an awful lot of folk), I'll just play Devil's advocate ...
Gots to be careful to not rebadge TiddlyWiki with something that makes people think of another product. For example, using the word "Rust": *Rust is a multiplayer-only survival video game developed by Facepunch Studios. Rust was first released in early access in December 2013 and received its full release in February 2018.* Probably a good idea to consider a name that works well for renaming TiddlyWiki plugins etc. Calling TiddlyWiki something that doesn't work well renaming TiddlyMap (for example) will, in my view, make a real mess of things. Say renaming TiddlyWiki to "SuperNoteThing", new users are not going to like needing to know "SuperNoteThing formerly known as TiddlyWiki" when searching for any info/resources/plugins/etc. on the web. Along with renaming TiddlySpot, TiddlyDesktop, TiddlyDrive, etc. etc. etc. On Tuesday, March 10, 2020 at 12:59:01 PM UTC-3, R² wrote: > > Nice discussion! > > The role of a brand name to convey a powerful impression and is by no > means secondary.
