I think that's fair. It's a hard problem.

We could have called the company a completely new name and everyone would have been confused, or just called us "pydantic".

I think Pydantic being the company name, and a standalone entity, and there being other products is fairly common. I think if Logfire is successful, it will end up just being known as "Logfire".

I don’t see how anybody would have been confused in that scenario? People start new companies with new names all the time.

What you are actually doing is what is confusing. It’s a really weird branding choice to name an observability platform startup after a validation library.
