Another unpronounceable project name. Well done.

Straight forward if you ask me:

> /taɪpst/. "Ty" like in Typesetting and "pst" like in Hipster.

Huh, I was reading it as “typist” all this time (and will probably continue).
I noticed quite a few people must do that because I have heard that pronunciation a few times already IRL and in videos. Some people also write it that way, a search here in the comments results in 4 matches.
I keep reading it as tüpst.
I agree but I'm thankful that it's a very searchable but still related name at least.
