A question (that also applies to oh so many other projects): you never thought about what happens when someone searches for your tool? (the other way around is problematic too ofc)

What is up with all these project / product names these days? Just this week i saw someone decided to label theirs 'June'. Yes, GOOD move.

Are people just using a random word suggester for the past decade?

I read the name and description and thought it had something to do with .po (gettext) files but it's not even that...
To be honest, I'm not good at naming things. "Pot" is just an abbreviation of a few words. At first, I even thought about calling it "top", but there's a well-known Linux software called "top". So now I call it "pot". Do you have any good naming suggestions?
