[00:13] <Pouria> Hello.
[00:13] <Pouria> Would anyone like to help me find a name for my app?
[00:25] <popey> Pouria: heh, a friend tells me the two hardest things in computing. 1) Caching, 2) Naming things.
[00:25] <popey> Good luck!
[00:26] <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.
[00:27] <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.
[00:28] <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.
[00:29] <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
[00:30] <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.
[00:31] <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)
[00:32] <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
[00:33] <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 ☻
[00:34] <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
[00:35] <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
[00:36] <Pouria> Yes, I'll remember this.
[00:36] <Pouria> What about FeedRev, as in Feed REvolution.
[00:36] <Pouria> :D
[00:37] <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.
[00:38] <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 ☻
[00:39] <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 ☻
[00:40] <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.
[00:41] <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
[00:42] <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
[00:43] <Pouria> Yep.
[00:43] <Pouria> Thanks. I appreciate it.
[00:44] <Pouria> And that bubbler name seems way cool to me.
[00:44] <Pouria> But its probably taken.
[00:44] <popey> Gossip?
[00:45] <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.
[00:46] <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.
[00:47] <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> ☻
[03:10] <naresh_> hello everyone
[04:16] <AskUbuntu> Letting the users of my application select whether the app should start on login? Most cross-platform way to implement? | http://askubuntu.com/q/357399

[12:09] <mrqtros> popey hello! :)
[12:10] <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 :)
[12:13] <popey> mrqtros: of  course I remember ☻
[12:13] <popey> mrqtros: yeah, get stuff landed today if you can.
[12:14] <popey> (tomorrow will be okay if jenkins isn't landing - we may have a datacentre outage preventing you landing today)
[12:15] <mrqtros> popey ok, we will do our best ;) Awaiting Joey, he may want to test too before merging :)
[12:15] <ahayzen> popey, Jenkins is back up after yesterday...but now bzr seems really slow lol :/
[12:16] <ahayzen> popey, do we have an expected time for the outage later?
