I am the developer of Wapp. I gather (from other comments) that the name "Wapp" collides with a recent pop song by someone named "Cardi B" - please correct me if I have misunderstood. For the record:

  *  I do not follow or participate in pop culture.
  *  I do not listen to pop music, ever.
  *  I do not know who Cardi B is.
Any similarity in the name of the Wapp software framework and music by the individual or group known as "Cardi B" is purely coincidental.

Yes, Cardi B is a female singer who is popular these days (as in, she's on the radio). WAP the song name is an abbreviation that refers to female genitalia.

That people associate "Wapp" with a sexually suggestive pop song name instead of "app" or "web app" might say more about them than anything inherent from the project name...
