The German language appears to have a lot of good words for app names. In fact, a lot of times when I'm trying to come up with names for apps and such, I usually just head over to Google Translate and start translating mundane English words into other languages until I get one that sounds cool coming off my American-English tongue.

Lesen is the German verb meaning "to read". There was another submission recently about an immutable/persistent data structure library named Immer which means, roughly, "always".

Definitively, I'm living in Germany currently and trying to learn the language, hence the inspiration too
This is great (!) to know.

I'd like to 'favorite' this comment, but don't see a link with which to do so. :-(

Could anyone advise on how?
