| Pouria | Hello. | 00:13 |
|---|---|---|
| Pouria | Would anyone like to help me find a name for my app? | 00:13 |
| popey | Pouria: heh, a friend tells me the two hardest things in computing. 1) Caching, 2) Naming things. | 00:25 |
| popey | Good luck! | 00:25 |
| Pouria | Actually I have a bunch of names. | 00:26 |
| Pouria | But since Im not natively english, I wonder if a name that I have chosen is stupid, or resembles something foolish. | 00:26 |
| popey | feel free to ask | 00:27 |
| Pouria | My app is basically a feed reader. | 00:27 |
| popey | an RSS Reader? | 00:27 |
| Pouria | Yep. | 00:27 |
| popey | ok | 00:27 |
| popey | cool btw ☻ | 00:27 |
| Pouria | RSS and atom. | 00:27 |
| Pouria | Tnks. | 00:27 |
| Pouria | So, users have the ability to upvote/downvote stuff. | 00:28 |
| Pouria | Also, by just clicking a news item, you are kinda upvoting it. | 00:28 |
| Pouria | Then feed items that have better ratings are shown higher-up to the user. | 00:28 |
| popey | Sounds like reddit ☻ | 00:29 |
| Pouria | Yeah. | 00:29 |
| Pouria | But it is for feeds. | 00:29 |
| Pouria | Wait. | 00:29 |
| Pouria | Does reddit do that exactly? | 00:29 |
| popey | no | 00:29 |
| popey | not based on clicks | 00:29 |
| popey | only votes | 00:29 |
| popey | AIUI | 00:29 |
| popey | <- not an expert | 00:29 |
| popey | But I can play one on TV. | 00:30 |
| Pouria | :) | 00:30 |
| Pouria | I'm no expert my self. | 00:30 |
| Pouria | Does reddit work with rss feeds? | 00:30 |
| popey | so what names have you come up with? | 00:30 |
| popey | dont think so | 00:30 |
| Pouria | Ok. | 00:30 |
| popey | newsblur sounds like this | 00:31 |
| Pouria | So the code name for the project (i.e in the source code), is "TopFeed". | 00:31 |
| popey | that lets you share stuff, and tag it, not sure if you can vote up/down | 00:31 |
| Pouria | So, what about "TopFeed" for a name? | 00:31 |
| popey | as opposed to the negative sounding "bottom feed"(er) | 00:31 |
| Pouria | :)) | 00:32 |
| Pouria | Maybe. | 00:32 |
| Pouria | So, it kinda reminds you of bottom feeder? | 00:32 |
| popey | No. | 00:32 |
| Pouria | OK. | 00:32 |
| Pouria | I have other names too. | 00:32 |
| Pouria | Like: | 00:32 |
| Pouria | FeedParty | 00:32 |
| Pouria | FeedCircle | 00:33 |
| Pouria | FeedMob | 00:33 |
| popey | Just not sure about it. TopFeed sounds like it should be TopFeeder, and that sounds like "Top Feeder" which sounds like "An excellent Feeder" | 00:33 |
| popey | i like feedmob | 00:33 |
| popey | not the others | 00:33 |
| Pouria | What about feedJam? | 00:33 |
| popey | meh ☻ | 00:33 |
| popey | feedmob is a taken name | 00:34 |
| popey | hard to find names that aren't tbh | 00:34 |
| Pouria | How do you check whether a name is taken? | 00:34 |
| Pouria | Google? | 00:34 |
| popey | google it ㋛ | 00:34 |
| Pouria | I think I have probably googled most of these names, but i'll check again. | 00:35 |
| popey | I like the name "Bubbler" - I thought "Feed Bubbler" because it lets the users "Bubble" news to the top (like Top Feeder) | 00:35 |
| Pouria | Ahhhh! Nice! | 00:35 |
| popey | but removing the word "feed" means you just have a nice simple name | 00:35 |
| Pouria | Yes, I'll remember this. | 00:36 |
| Pouria | What about FeedRev, as in Feed REvolution. | 00:36 |
| Pouria | :D | 00:36 |
| Pouria | ? | 00:37 |
| popey | thinking ☻ | 00:37 |
| popey | all of these imply feeds | 00:37 |
| popey | are people reading feeds, do they know what feeds are | 00:37 |
| Pouria | Yep. | 00:37 |
| popey | or are they reading articles / news | 00:37 |
| popey | is "feed" a word people use commonly? | 00:37 |
| Pouria | Your last question I;m not sure. | 00:37 |
| Pouria | But yes. | 00:38 |
| Pouria | Don't you know about feeds? | 00:38 |
| popey | i mean there's FeedReader, Feedly etc | 00:38 |
| popey | i do | 00:38 |
| popey | just wondering about Normal People | 00:38 |
| popey | them.. out there | 00:38 |
| Pouria | Well , I'l be releasing for linux first, so the users are probably savvy. | 00:38 |
| popey | As I said, I'm not an expert ☻ | 00:38 |
| Pouria | Ok. | 00:39 |
| popey | I named my recent app by taking what it does and convert to another language then take the first letter of each word ☻ | 00:39 |
| popey | Oelssi ☻ | 00:39 |
| popey | unpronouncable, but nobody else has the name ☻ | 00:39 |
| Pouria | What does your app do? | 00:40 |
| popey | Tracks the International Space Station | 00:40 |
| popey | où est la station spatiale internationale = oelssi | 00:40 |
| Pouria | Dude, that name is hard to type into google. | 00:40 |
| popey | hah | 00:41 |
| Pouria | You have to copy paste. | 00:41 |
| Pouria | :D | 00:41 |
| popey | \o/ | 00:41 |
| popey | see, told you I wans't good at this ㋛ | 00:41 |
| Pouria | I could also name it Discord. | 00:41 |
| Pouria | Cause its kinda chaotic. | 00:41 |
| popey | oh i like that | 00:41 |
| popey | abstract | 00:42 |
| Pouria | Yeah. | 00:42 |
| popey | no relation to feeds or news or anything | 00:42 |
| Pouria | Yeh, that's a negative I guess. | 00:42 |
| Pouria | Or is it? | 00:42 |
| popey | nope | 00:42 |
| popey | its good IMO | 00:42 |
| popey | amazon, ebay.. | 00:42 |
| popey | nothing to do with books or auctions | 00:42 |
| popey | but you remember them | 00:42 |
| Pouria | Yep. | 00:43 |
| Pouria | Thanks. I appreciate it. | 00:43 |
| Pouria | And that bubbler name seems way cool to me. | 00:44 |
| Pouria | But its probably taken. | 00:44 |
| popey | Gossip? | 00:44 |
| popey | Sounds like a chat app to me | 00:45 |
| popey | as Gossip has two meanings really | 00:45 |
| Pouria | Gossip. SOunds like chat to me too. | 00:45 |
| popey | Tidings. | 00:46 |
| Pouria | Excuse my slow typing, I've been too busy to cut my nails. | 00:46 |
| popey | Reportage. | 00:46 |
| Pouria | Actually, googleing it, it Bubbler seems to be not taken. | 00:46 |
| popey | yeah, i didn't see anything immediately spring up | 00:46 |
| popey | Edition. | 00:46 |
| popey | Right, time for bed. Good luck! I look forward to seeing your app in the store - whatever it's called! | 00:47 |
| Pouria | Thanks. | 00:47 |
| Pouria | GL to you too. | 00:47 |
| popey | ☻ | 00:47 |

| mrqtros | popey I am from RSS Reader team as you may remember. We have big changes in our app (finished work on it few minutes ago), is it normally to merge it today? :) When is the deadline? :) It fixes two bugs, makes app more robust, code more clean and so on :) | 12:10 |

| popey | mrqtros: yeah, get stuff landed today if you can. | 12:13 |

| mrqtros | popey ok, we will do our best ;) Awaiting Joey, he may want to test too before merging :) | 12:15 |

| JoeyChan | popey Hi, a question about the translation of project, maybe I should ask David(dpm), but seems he is not here | 14:11 |
