Please choose a different name. It could be the most useful product in the world, but no way am I ever advocating something called "dorkly" at work.

I was confused at first because I immediately recognized Dorkly as a YouTube channel that was very popular on YouTube around 2010, they produced comedy animations based on video games though I'm sure the humor isn't as funny as I thought it was when I was 13.

Checking now they have about 4 million subscribers. Probably not gonna be great for SEO longterm.

Fair point. I’m open to suggestions for a new name :)

I may or may not have grabbed the "LaunchOpenly" github organization name a while back. But I was intending to use it if anyone wanted to write an API-compatible Open Source clone of LD's APIs and flag-editing UI.
